Today I tried some 33.5gr NSA flat base slugs that shot better than the Zans did today. I had them going at 905fps. That was about all that I was going to get at my current reg setting I think, which is 125b. I was shooting the 34gr JSB MkII at 940fps at the same setting and the group stayed on target, but got bigger, like over an inch. All of my target shooting was at 52y today and I did not touch the reg, I just played with the hammer setting. The only single hole groups that I shot were with the JSB 34gr pellets, at 894fps and at 905fps, it likes those two speeds. The 890 zone seems to be more consistent. The NSA slugs were shooting under an inch but probably aren't good enough to stick with either at that size. For some reason the Zan 28gr slugs today shot 1 1/2" groups, twice as big as the first time I shot them. I don't know if it has something to do with the new suppressor or not. The hunt is on for a reliably accurate "hunting" slug. I'm not going to be needing to get any Alteros any time soon. A dime coverabe group at this range is the standard, in perfect conditions like today. More slugs are on the way, it'll happen eventually.
