AEA Challenger .30 Ammo

(1/3) > >>

Northwoods:
Hey all. Going to order the Aea challenger .30. Was wondering what you all recommend for ammo. Pellets? Slugs? Will the .308 slug work via single shot? Thanks!

Back_Roads:
 I bought my Challenger because I had a NOE pellet mold for .30, and needed a gun to shoot them, also have some NSA slugs that fit the mag and shoot well, main thing is they need to be heavy enough to stay sub sonic, about a 50 gr pellet, and 60 gr slug will fit the mag and do quite well also.

James last time out with mine I turned it to the 10 oclock position and it was shooting my NOE pellets very accurate.
I need to get back out with that gun again because it's not really super loud and shoots excellent.

fatmike:
I shoot the vortex pellets with the power turned down with ok results. I've been waiting for someone to try some nsa slugs and give a report.  I've been told the jsb pellets shoot well.  I'm to cheap to experiment with the nsa stuff, way to cheap for jobs so I think my aea challenger bullpup with the 32" barrel will be for sale soon.  The shot cycle with this gun is just too violent for me. It's worse then a magnum springer out the box.

If the slugs or pellets go supersonic do they tumble?
