I almost always go for head shots, but more specifically I go for the cns connection if I can. The base of the skull where it meets the neck.

Any updates on the slug shooting or other findings?

It has been running perfect, great compressor. Im at i think about 15 hours so far. It is very quiet which is so nice to use in the house.

For what it's worth, here's a schematic. This is my favorite way for my own guns so I can source bulk o rings from the o ring store.

My other gun is a katran compact in 22, I agree with a little diversity. Im currently selling for a friend an early version mini and he would trade for my katran if I wanted, but honestly there's features about the katran I like more than the mini. The 15" is about the perfect size for a do all...

Very nice. Im interested in your findings with slugs. Obviously accuracy with them but what kind of power it can push and shot count efficiency

From the mountains to the farms my 15" Evol has been on pest hunting duty for the last 4 years. Literally thousands of ground squirrel, pigeons, collard dove and starlings have succumbed to the accuracy of this gun. Rugged and reliable , there's a reason it's been one of my two airgun arsenal...

Evol .22 with the new features(valve, easy cocking, external adj reg) 19" 1/16 twist sub moa barrel with original tensioned shroud and moderator system. Basically a slug shooting Evol. Oh and get rid of the burst disc and have standard plug screw bleed off.

It won't matter both work just fine. Head neck shots and they'll drop on the spot

Jts 21.53 hit hard, if you don't care about saving a bunch of the meat javelin 21 grain slugs will turn them inside out

Yes mine is a 15" and prior to shifting to the 22 grain pellets I have been shooting javelin 21 grains for a few years. My barrel loves that slug. I have shot the javelins from what they are right now at about 885 fps up to 970 fps maxed out. My absolute best tune for those was 2250 reg...

That was my first thought as well, but after a good cleaning and reseasoning with only the jts pellets nothing changed unfortunately

I do a ton of pesting with my Evol on ground squirrel and birds. I primarily have used 21 grain javelin slugs for squirrels over the years, but as much as I shoot that gets a little pricey and honestly if the wind is mild I don't always need slugs. I have praised jts 22.07 in the past as being...

You can leave an airgun charged indefinitely. Theres really no reason to ever degas a gun unless you are going to work on it.

As far as pellets go for killing small game, placement will always trump anything else. Use your most accurate out of your gun and go for head/neck shots and they will be drt. In my experience none of the expanding pellets do much different than a good domed. When you go to a good expanding slug...
