I have one bullet in particular that simply will not shoot well. It shotguns at any range, regardless of sizing changes.
Here it is at 50 yards. Three shots without what is being tested, and three using the center hole of the terrible group. Now, three + one, the one from the previous group and felt so good I sent two more down range for a total of 6 in there, for a clover leaf. Success! Repeated many times, 50 and 80 yards. Over and over again. all with bullets that until now, simply would not group.
More stoked than ever! Yep, blurry, couldn't see the screen on the camera in the direct light.

Is this a slug only benefit or will pellets possibly benefit as well?

My guess is it's something that will greatly benefit slugs and high powered guns more than low or normal powered pellet shooters. Those are just my thoughts on this. I myself haven't been able to test just yet but this week I can

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that like Dillon mentioned , will mostly benefit big power applications . Again , more testing needs to be done before we get any definite answers .

It must have something to do with the rocket blast that tumbles the projectile as it leaves the barrel.
Pistol target shooters port the barrel.
Oops, wrong thread. My bad. 🤗🤗🤗

So I did some testing today with my .30 Flex. Did some sizing of slugs and went outside to shoot at 55yds. With the tune it's on both weights are shooting in the 960-970fps range. First shots were the "stock" Flex. As you can see not too impressive. Actually pretty bad. I measured the 50gr as that's what I would be continuing my testing with.
Did the "upgrade" and these are groups with the "classified" Flex. As you can see the results are quite amazing. With just the upgrade being the only difference, the .299 sized 50gr NSA slugs have basically eliminated flyers and 8 shots went in under half an inch with 2 opening it up to an inch. Could have been me as I was shooting prone off a bipod so not rock steady. I'm extremely impressed with this discovery!
PS the crossed out shot was a shot prior to a scope adjustment

Ok, read the tag line below my avatar on the left side of the screen.
My dad told me that a long time ago.
3 people can keep a secret only if 2 of them are dead.
It’s not about killing, it’s about not telling people your business.....

Why not just tell everyone?
You obviously have told a few.
And they have confirmed it works, so proof of concept and independent testing has been done.
The date stamps of your first post gives it a legal “born on date. “
You say it will benefit all of the airgun community, and you are not in it for your financial gain.
If anyone wanted to take your idea and run with it, you have the legal system on your side...
To sue them into submission.
