Title: .25 slugs for at44 qe?
Post by: bardownsnipe on March 21, 2015, 05:25:40 PM

I've been wanting to try slugs out of my at44 qe, but before I go buying slugs I wanted to know if anybody had tried that and what king of results they had gotten. I don't want to sacrifice too much accuracy, but I'm willing to lose a little to boost the ftlbs. If anybody has any info, that would be great! :D

Rat sniper slugs in 37 gr. worked well in my at44. I did have the LW barrel. I'm using them in my bt65 with mixed results , I have to find the sweet spot in velocity . The 1:17 twist LW barrel would have them group 1/2" at 30 yards at 950 fps.

I've used the 45g Rat Sniper slug in a Air Ranger 80 with a 1:17 LW barrel @ 900fps with a BC of .109822, so they really retain their energy down range.

Recovered from pages 874-1002 in a Grainger catalog.
