Been wanting to test the new H&N Grizzlys But can't get to the range yet and was wondering what everyone else with this rifle is this caliber shoots slug wise well out to 100 meters + or _ ? Seems some mixed reviews of the H&N Grizzleys....

Never tried slugs out of my .25 Boss (which I've since sold), but I have tried some in my stock .22, and I can't say that they performed all that well. I tried several variations, and they all didn't do too well. I think the choked barrel was the biggest hurdle.
You can also try ordering sample packs from NSA and H&N. They might work, but don't quote me on that; especially if your barrel is stock.
100 meters (accurately) is a long shot for most stock airguns, most of the time, although there are exceptions.
-
U need to measure the barrel at your choke. That will give you the best starting point.
Slugs require a very close match to the actual bore dia...not the rifling dia.

You may find that a sizing setup can fine tune a slug to your guns bore / choke. NOE has a great sizing system.

What I found was .252/3 from the choke end. Funny thing is the grizzly's measure the same basically.. You can see a slight grove from the lands but nothing deep at all. I might need a better setup other than a cleaning rod and pellets as the slugging technique. :P

Grizzly did not do well in my .25 bullboss.
NSA 36.2 and 29gr and Varmint Knockers 32.5gr are the best based on my experience.

I may give NSA's a try as I've heard a lot good about them. Seems they are also less expensive than some of the other choices.
