Ghost Thinking of going .177 for slugs

[Jay308]

JSB KO 13.43 gr slugs are 4.52 mm They shoot amazing around 1000 FPS

How often do you clean the barrel, shooting them that fast?

When accuracy gets worse Usually around 150-200 shots I run 3 felt pellets through with a slug behind and that is enough

My Ghost is a .25 now, but I have been thinking about going to .177 and shooting 20gr slugs. I had heard the 28” barrel would shoot them accurately?

From what I have seen the JSB Knockouts 13 grain love a touch under 1000 fps

I can’t believe I’m getting so excited over shooting .177, but I really think this is going to be a great combination.

I have a FX Crown in .177 with a custom L W Barrel it is a joy to shoot. It's under Best Crown ever . It was done by Allen Z

I call my .177 Crown Pimple Popper. It's that accurate LOL

Zan 20gr .1776 and NSA 20.5gr .178 showed up today. Still waiting on the barrel, 13.43 and 16 grains…

.Shooting .177 is a joy to shoot, you will find it to be rewarding

If you go 22 BRK slug barrel like I did, Altaros 40 grainers right at 890-900 is the sweet spot.

I got some Altaros slugs for my Pantera 700 .22. like you mentioned speed is key , they shoot well @ slower speeds as you mentioned, no need for super fast. The Jsb Knockouts in .177 are also a great light slugs & 980 fps

I am using the red spring and regulator is set around 140 bar

Do you use a different spring for the 13 grains? Is it better to have more hammer and lower reg for slugs or the other way around? Do you change reg pressures going from 20gr to 13gr? I appreciate you answering my many questions I’m going to try and test tomorrow!

Sorry for all the questions

13 gr are shot on power level MIN and I then go up on the power wheel to shoot 16 gr and 20 gr No regulator adjustment Keep the questions coming That is how we learn

 

[Jay308]

13 for the ghost the others i tried weren’t even close to the 13

What spring, reg and pw settings were you using for the 13’s?

Sor,

Does your slug barrel shoot pellets very well? have been on the fence on which .177 barrel to get for my ghost?

Thank you

My 177 ghost slug barrel loves 13 gr jsb. Will shot moa on a calm day @ 100 yds

 

[Solo1]

What spring, reg and pw settings were you using for the 13’s?

17 on pw and 130-140 bar red spring i think they were doing 1030 fps

It shoots pellets very well also I have the very same 2B barrel in my Daystate Red Wolf GP .177 HP and my Daystate BlackWolf TAC .177 HP

I wasn’t sure if I need to move down to the blue spring, not even sure what pressure range that is used in.

The 13’s were going too fast for the FX chrono to catch even on min. The 20 gr will go 950+ fps on Max @ 137 bar w/ red spring and 915 on pw 5. I’m using the pin probe also. I don’t think I can shoot both on one tune, but maybe if I lower the reg. It shoots tight groups with the Zan 20 at 25 yards, it didn’t like the NSA 20.5 and they chambered hard, and fps dropped from 930 to 875 but they are .178.

Give it a try thats 1 of the things i really like about the ghost its easy to tune and its not a pain to change things around a bit.

The 20 gr ideal fps is 900-925 and the 13.43 is 990-1000, what is the 16?
