Just ordered some HIGH ARC HUNTER .457 SLUGS in both 315 gr. and 241 gr. from RL Airgun Supply 241 gr. Look forward to doing some tests in my Texan and my 909 Light Hunter. They look very interesting. Can't wait to see if I can get tighter groups with them.

As soon as they get in I'll post numbers and check groups. I expect it will be a week though

Just got the pellet style slugs in from RL Airgun and my first testing at 50 yrds produced decent groups from the Texan but better groups from my Sam Yang 909 Light Hunter. Only took 5 shots with each gun with each pellet/bullet and my worst group was 2" out of either gun. I had to run two sets of 5 of the 241 gr through the 909 though because it was difficult to get them seated evenly in the breech. Each time I put one in and pressed in on it, it would cock sideways and was a bear to get out to try and reseat.
The groups from the Texan 241gr was 2" center to center (ALL 5 shot groups) on the 311gr was 1 5/8" center to center. You could follow the shot count straight down...1 was highest 2 was just below 3 was bulleye 4 & 5 were just above 3 though.
Best I could get with the short session out of the 909 with the 241gr was a 2" group ctc, but with the 311gr I achieved a real nice tight group of 1". So as a first impression on a short session I am confident that any of the above would have taken out large game UP TO said 50 yrds.
Actually I could kick myself because I could have put the chrony on them at the same time, but I didn't even think about it till I was done and had to get things done around the house and yard before the rain. I'll run more tests as soon as I get a little more free time.

Re: New Pellets/Slugs for 909 Light Hunter/Texan...UPDATE

As an update......Went hunting at a Private Hunting Ranch in Ohio with my STOCK TEXAN (with the exception of a NC LDC) and took out a doe at a lasered 40 yards. Clean pass through. Upon inspection and cleaning noted that both lungs and heart were penetrated. Clean kill. Used the High Arc Hunter 241 gr. Slugs. Deer made it about 50 yards before passing.
The other parties in my hunting group were in awe at what they saw happen with an AIRGUN. Obviously I was totally STOKED. When I saw the deer I had to be quick when loading and the High Arc Hunter 241 gr. Slugs were the first pellets that found my fingers when reaching for ammo. I obviously have NO REGRETS. In all my testing they shot well but not as well as the round ball.....as far as grouping, but when game time came I aimed just behind the right front shoulder and squeezed the trigger and it hit EXACTLY where I aimed. I'm sold on them. I actually had better groupings during tests with the High Arc Hunter 311 gr. Slugs.
Plan on going back and trying same pellets but with a stock 909 Sam Yang next time.
