I've been testing some 6 ring slugs sized at .253 in my older Sumatra 25 500cc and they seem promising but I think I could still go up to .254 and grab the rifling a little better. Is anyone casting .257s that I could buy a few from a size them down to .254 for some more testing? The Sumatra is a hammer with them but after slugging the bore I think I have one of the first versions with the larger bore size and I think .254 will tighten the groups some. I should have suspected that anyway since it is one that has the adjustable cheek rest in the stock. PM me if you have a few to spare and we can work out the price and shipping details or you can email me at badgerfarm2 at gmail dot com Thanks

Cedric or Tofazfou uses a 257 and cast his own bullets. I'm not sure if he post here but he's a regular over on the Yellow forum.

As is RJ Porter, and both can also be found almost daily on the Talon Air Gun Forum along with a few others that cast in 257.

These guys are most likely your best bet for some to try.
