Money talks, BS walks... -YJSB Knockout slugs are now about the same price as JSB pellets of the same weight. People want to slugs....and now price is no longer an obstacle. The slug barrels will come no doubt about that. In fact, transitioning to slug barrels was no doubt part of the reason EMS was developed.Same price for 350 vs 500 in a pellet tin. PS all the sub-MOA shooters, at 200 yards at the range say that you need minimum of 925+fps to stabilise slugs. Yes, they are shooting .25 cal FX guns.The knockout slugs come 500 in a tin, not 350:https://www.airgundepot.com/jsb-knockout-slugs-177-cal-10.03-gr-500-ct.html ($23.99 for 500 .177 JSB Knockout 10.03 grain slugs)https://www.airgundepot.com/jsb-546267.html ($22.99 for 500 .177 JSB exact heavy 10.3 grain diabolo pellets)As you can see JSB slugs are now about the same price as JSB pellets. Edit: When comparing 13.4 grain .177 JSB slugs to 13.4 grain .177 JSB pellets I see the slugs are a few bucks cheaper:https://www.airgundepot.com/jsb-knockout-slugs-177-cal-13.43-gr-400-ct.html ($19.99 for 400 .177 JSB 13.4 grain slugs)https://www.airgundepot.com/jsb-exact-monster-diabolo-177-caliber-13-4-grain-400-count.html ($22.99 for 400 .177 JSB 13.4 grain pellets) P.S. The reason why long range shooters use 925+ fps is because that speed is best for wind drift, it has nothing to do with stabilization of the bullet. As far as rifling twist requirements go its just the opposite of what you think....the slower the velocity below supersonic the less rifling twist required (for any given atmospheric pressure and temperature). See Kolbe Twist calculator below for examples:http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/barrel_twist.htm

Back to the original EMS 350 question, what made the Ntec 350 have such a high cocking weight? My 340 seems a bit stiffer than my 34's but not too much. Was it the ram, mechanical design or a combination of both?
