NEW- H&N HP Slugs .22

[superchikn]

Ed,
In simplest terms a gun which will shoot slugs well, will shoot them better at longer ranges than Diabolo pellets.
At thirty yards my Liberty will shoot Barracuda and similar weight dish base slugs through the same hole.  (This is a very general statement).
At 100 yds I've shot 1" groups with the "right" slug versus 1 1/2" with the 'cudas.

Slugs have been expensive to date compared to pellets,  With NSA's high speed swaging machine and H&Ns new offerings this appears to be changing.

Not all guns will shoot slugs better than pellets.

Thanks to each of you  posting in this tread for offering me another opportunity to display my ignorance.
Hope it doesn't bother you.

What is the reason for shooting slugs instead of pellets?

I could make an (un)educated guess; but would rather hear the facts

Mind heck no... responsible yes...It is so much better that it caries the responsibility to learn its maximum range for safety reasons... a pellet  caries the same responsibility at less distance... from a 50-200+ fpe pcp a  sub 12 fpe pumper  all carry that responsibility... so yep if you do not know ask...also ricochets tend to carry a lot farther..!

Better energy retention and less windage needed....
