I know this is a crude presentation but I am trying to gather a list of .250 slugs both swagged and cast.
If you know of another producer not listed here please post it and I will add it
I will say that I started this list because I am in process of having WAR build me a dedicated slug gun with 4500/500cc bottle Cobra regulated to 2900, using a 26" TJ's .251 1:14 twist UNCHOKED barrel with the goal of 120 FPE using 50gr slugs. I will try slugs from 40 to 60 but the specs will be for a 50gr. No pellets will be tested because I have lots of pellet rifles, this is for a different direction.

I don’t have anything to add but that’s a great idea . I can only add that the 41 BBT and 51 BBT are good for 2 to 5 MOA from a 17:1 LW barrel . I’ll be trying them in a 14:1 twist they were designed for .

If I'm recall correct NEI is out of business. I think I read it on Casboolits page. And one more .25 mold is this Ranch Dogs mold from NOE

LBT made the very first .25 cal BBT.... The number is 250-52-BST and it weighs just under 52 gr. in 40:1 and fits the .25 cal MRod mags, but too long for the Hatsan mags.... It was intended for the 14" twist TJ's .25 ACP barrel....
There are MANY molds in .257 cal that can be sized down (in 2-3 steps), but most of them will be too long or heavy for use in a .250 cal airgun.... One exception is the NOE 260-63-FN, which is a shortened version of the 80 gr....
