Ghost 28” 👻barrel

[Solo1]

Well got my 28” ghost 177 barrel today haven’t gotten outside to test accuracy but got some crono numbers.
16 gr h&n 970 fps 33 fpe
16 gr zan 954 fps 32 fpe
13 gr h&n 1036 fps 31 fpe
15 gr neilsen 980 fps 32 fpe
Now I just have to hope the 16 h&n are accurate might make it for hp ft! Oh these are all slugs 150 bar hw max

Nope not a slug specific barrel but 1 like Soren Drost started shooting slugs with he had good results with it and slugs so I thought I’d check it out. Aoa said they haven’t gotten any slug barrels yet and I heard somewhere that it might only be a 22 barrel?

Yes I heard they are pushing the .22 barrels first as well. I have (foolishly!?) purchased $250ish worth of slugs late last year to try, thinking Brk had slug barrels coming soon. Now 6 months later we wait some more. I believe the 28" .22 barrels were a bit confusing as well? Some guys were getting the slow twist (1:32?) barrel and some said a twist of closer to 1:17? Hmmm You have a regular .177 barrel to try it against Solo?

Yea I do I have all but a 30 cal but the big reason I bought this barrel is because I don’t mess with my ft gun! I’ve got it set up just how I want and shooting just the way I want it gets shot for ft and practice only. My other ghost is the 1 where i experiment so now i can try 177,22 and 25 on that 1. It works well because it usually stays at 150 bar and I’m not causing a lot of wear on the reg.
Oh while thinking more I have a thread here with some slug velocities from the 23” barrel too but i didn’t shoot many for reasons above

The one that I have been testing for quite a while now is in fact the .177 slug barrel !

This is the one that has been finalized together with the .22 28” slug barrel

 

[Solo1]

Well aoa told me the barrel I got was not a slug barrel. But I think I found a winner combo with 15 gr nsa. Here is 50 and 100 10 shot groups off styx!


There was just a touch of breeze. Soren didn’t you shoot slugs thru a regular 28” barrel before you got a slug barrel?

 

[Soren Drost]

I shot slugs through the standard 600 mm or 23" barrel in .177

Ahhh I thought so, as the groups you were getting we're stellar! Welp send em over the this way, can't have you Europeans hogging them all to yourselves now Did you do anything Soren to yours when you got it? Ie barrel polish, etc? Mine currently cannot group like my S510 consistently, but it is accurate. My main problem is me and my setup, as well as guns to hot, and still shooting Mrds of course. Some days it's impressive, other days I wonder if it is was worth the coin.

Is that a 2 inch bull Solo1? I can usually do tighter than that at 50Y with Mrds....minus that dreaded flier of course. That's mighty good at 100Y though, keeping it together!! Slug groups @ 100 with standard 23in barrel wouldn't even show up on paper that small

The blue bull is full size in the pic. The green is 2” and you have to remember this was my 1st and only 100 yd group today off styx not bench rested! I didn’t shoot more at 100 cause the wind was picking up with rain on the way. I probably would have shot better at 50 and 100 but it was kind of a rush job and my heart rate was up from all the running around to set up to shoot.

That's what I was thinking after I responded, first group excitement, should only get better! Very very nice, and in .177 to boot.

I did give my barrel a light polish

The 23” barrel ! The 28” I have not touched !

 

[Solo1]

For me to shoot 100 at home I have to load everything on my quad and ride out in an old strip mined area set up targets measure distance then shoot and pack everything back on the quad and go home I was only shooting for about 20 min out of a hr and a half trip. I shot mostly at 50 with several different slugs but the nsa seemed to show the most promise so I shot them at 100 and left before the rain.

How much pressure are you using at these velocities?

150 bar on the Huma

We will see if I can do that when I get to shoot off a bench!
