Printing groups with slugs vs pellets.

[CTAirgunner]

For those of you who haven't dived into slugs yet, I think this may be helpful for when you do.

I for 1 am not used to shooting slugs. I'm green when it comes to it.

The shape and retained energy down range of slugs make them punch through the paper vs shred paper like a pellet will. Both groups are very close in size but looking through your scope you may find that the slug group looks "sub par" and it may get frustrating. First group is slugs , second is pellets both at 100y.

My advice to you is go down and measure before getting disgruntled.

Just figured this may help some. Happy Sunday and aim small everyone.

Nice groups! I have been stashing away $ for a Condor SS. Still going to stay with .22 for now(cheap to shoot), but always wanted to upgrade to the .257

The .22 is definitely the most cost effective route. I think these avs slugs are a nickel a piece ... 20 ish dollars for 100.

Also thank you very much.

As the area around me gets more crowded, I am looking for a substitute to my .22's. It is still legal to shoot,but you might as well call it in ahead! They have to come if someone calls. When we moved here,I shot the .44 off the back porch without even a question. Times change. Keep up the posts.

For shooting group sizes (or for score), I recommend using heavy card stock and print your targets on those. The shoot-n-see targets are OK for longer ranges well over 200 yards, but they exaggerate how small groups are compared to holes through paper or card stock.

I will take a look at this as they can definitely be deceiving to the naked eye, thats why I keep that BT Groupy on my keychain.
