Marauder G3, The Things I Do For Fun

[Pumacarl]

I wrote down my factory settings before I moved the hammer spring. 1100 psi with 3 turns of the hammer spring. My rifle has 71/4 turns in from all the way out.

That is what my .25 has also, right around 7 1/4, it's great to see such consistency. Tyler's gun had the same iirc in the video.

I have been trying to find info from anybody shooting slugs in their .25 G3 and it is scarce. So... I have just been looking at the options and today I ordered some of the .250 38gr Heavy Slugs from H&N. These are the lightest in their new heavy line, which I want to try because it uses a new softer lead. I will try to get them to 950fps and see what happens. I don't believe that I could get much heavier slugs to do 950fps, so I am topping out at 38gr for now. I know some slugs shoot more accurate going slower and I hope that's not these. I like the speed. The other nice thing about H&N is the price, $8.99 for 120 at HatsanUSA, and their shipping is always $10. If I would have been patient enough to wait for free shipping that's only 7.5cents a slug, not bad.

I'm going to pull the hammerspring off of the SSG and look for a little bit stiffer one too. It's worth a shot, but most likely I'll end up at Mcmaster&Carr I think. Between that and 2500psi on the reg, it's about time to see what this thing can actually do at the upper end.
