Been shooting NSA 12.5 gr slugs out of my DAR factory settings, getting 860 fps. Finally a nice day and spare time, I will take it out to 50 yards and make sure my results are as good as I am seeing at closer ranges. Heavier slugs not so good but may be due to the lead needing opened up a little more.

OK day stopped being nice by the time I got to my range

It clouded over, and winds started gusting to 20 MPH range from right to left, so a good test for slugs IMO

Higher holes were sighters, did a quick sight in at 30 yards then went to 50 dialed my POI in and let about 15 NSA 12.5 fly. Shot off a Trigger Stick Bipod BTW, I could of done better if I were hunting perhaps LOL

I'd say not bad for the wind.
20 MPH cross wind and probably gusting at times?
I'd be happy.

Does this include the hammer spring tension being left stock? Increasing that is a piece of cake. Yes, it involves removing a single stock retention capscrew. Then you could wind in the hammer spring preload a turn or two and see what happens. The hammer spring cap can actually go in 3.75 turns from flush with the receiver.

I believe that you could easily get the velocity up to 950 FPS, and perhaps a little more with the 12.5 grain slugs, for 25 ft.lb. My guess is that less than two additional turns on the hammer spring will do it for you. Based on lots of slug shooting user data on this forum, slugs like to travel faster than pellets for best accuracy.

Everything is as is right OTB, only thing done was clean the barrel, polish lightly, and paste wax shine in the bore. Yes next up will be adding some HS and re testing the 15 gr. nsa. I also have a Mrod shooting the 12.5s at 910 fps, but I am liking the better shot count of the DAR, and I have heard the lower FPS in the mid 8s can actually be of some benefit in the wind, and my ES is only like 3 for two and 1/2 mags or so.

Testing should get you where you want to be. Only you can decide where that is.

I think minimum wind drift at 850 FPS is for diabolo pellets. It is higher for slugs. The reason for their existence ...

Then there is the question of harmonics. Where do you get the smallest groups, apart from ES being a good indicator for vertical spread at longer ranges.

That's an impressive extreme spread for a budget gun, hard to resist trying one of these again. Can anyone say stimulus check 2? Would want a 25 cal though.

Whipped up a single shot tray. I do prefer to single load while plinking. Slows down my pellet usage as a bonus.

crazyhorse1 · « **Reply #488 on:** December 21, 2020, 04:25:58 AM »

Surely someone will start producing single shot trays for the DAR....?

tracker1955 · « **Reply #489 on:** December 21, 2020, 10:17:01 AM »

It would be easy for someone to 3D print them and sell for a few bucks.

Sorry to ask but 25 page is too many to go thru. Where can I find a printable schematic for the Gen 2?

Does anyone know if Dar is going to sell replacement parts? That would be my biggest hang up with buying one.

Did a few revisions and smoothed the print up. 22 cal The tray snaps into place and stays put nicely.

If anyone is interested shoot me a pm for details.

avator · « **Reply #496 on:** December 22, 2020, 08:49:22 AM »

I might be interested in a .25 version.

Sonja is now buying into the whole "...we could use a .177 slug gun that is budget friendly..."

We'll see what happens over the next couple months

I can not wait to get my hands on the 25 cal one that was offered to me. I already have a scope, rings and a MOA base. I need to order a couple more mags but holding off till the deal is complete.
What slugs do you guys recommend for squirrels?
