Anyone trying slugs in their Avenger?

[Tommyzgunz]

I recently picked up an Avenger in .22 with the wood stock. I love it so far. I tried several pellets in a range from 18.1 to 21.1 and the gun loves them all but the JSB 18 gr best. Id like to try a few slugs as well .

Has anyone tried the fx hybrid 22 gr or the H+N Slug HP in the Avenger? . if so , how did they group for you? Any problems with the fit?

If anyone has them shooting well , I'd appreciate if you share your fill pressure, reg pressure and hammer spring settings that you found work well with the slugs as opposed to pellets.

If anyone found settings  that works great for both  the JSB 18's that also works great with the slugs I'd love to hear your results.that would be ideal.

I tried the H&N Slug HP and H&N Grizzlys and JSB Knockouts in my 25 plastic stock Avenger and none of the would group at 33 yards.  The knockout group was less than half an inch vertically, and a couple inches horizontally.  Grizzlys would often miss a 8.5 x 11 inch target.  Slug HPs were not that bad but bigger groups than the Knockouts.  Same gun/tune puts FX 25.4 and JSB 33.95 into 1/4 inch groups pretty regularly. 

I think "Airgun Angie" said in one of her videos the knockouts worked for her.  But I don't remember that she gave settings.  Her's is a 25.

I am told our NSA 20.2 .216 slugs shoot in that gun

I know hajimoto had really good luck with .217 sized H&N 23 gr on his origin video. I believe the origin has the same barrel. I have a wood avenger coming Friday but I may sell without even opening. I kind of want a gamo coyote. I can’t tell you how much I love my urban.

The Urban has been my number one surprise in airgun purchases. Lights out accuracy with quite a few pellets but AA 16 grains are incredibly accurate. The Coyote  a BSA barrel as well?

Yeah I’m pretty sure the coyote is a BSA gun as well.

I shot some NSA 17.5 gr .217 diameter in mine using the same tune I had set for the JSB 18gr pellets, and they shot fine.  I didn't get a chance to shoot them at 100 yards, but at 50 yards a 10 shot group measured 1 1/4" center to center.  The .217s shot a bit slower than my JSB 18s (832fps vs 887fps).  I have some samples of the 17.5 gr. slugs on the way in .216 and .2165 diameter.  I'll report my findings on my Avenger Wood Stock version thread.

Awesome . Thanks i will keep an eye on that thread. My wood stock Avenger doesn't seem.to have any gen 1 issues so maybe they really did make this gen 2 better and listened to the feedback and improved upon it.
