Page 3 - FX Hybrid Slug, .25 Reviews

I've tried on several rifles including the FX Maverick Compact in .25 cal. accuracy is good but not the best because this slugs still can't beat the JSB pellets.The fit and shape are perfect.

This thing is too pricey $15.99 per 100.

The slugs is very nice shape and to me it fit perfectly in FX Airgun.

It is very accurate for my Benjamin Marauder .25 gen 1 @32m. It is consistent and high quality slug. you can see from my shared image.

The weight could be more and the dimension could be 0.248 or 0.249. price is a little high.

It is very difficult to push in the breech.

Well made, very uniform, Hit hard transferring more energy to the target.

For a .25 cal Slug I consider 26 grains very light, I would Like a heavier version.

It took about 20 shots to get them dialed in and shooting consistent from my Airforce Condor. On my lowest setting they are shooting about 850FPS and move up as well as side to side as velocity is increased making them much more temperamental than pellets. They do amazing things to Starlings, the only downside being the impact is louder than the shot generally. I did suffer the occasional flyer which after researching it on YouTube found it was likely due to lead fouling in more aggressing rifling. One easy fix is to coat the pellets with a silicon spray to lower friction.

I purchased these because I wanted to try some slugs in my Airforce Condor SS They are GREAT ! very accurate , 5 shot group at 65 yards was under 1" !! They hit hard !!

Nothing

Amazing accuracy with my cricket 2 wsa .25. Pushing at 970ish and they hit like a hammer. Small entry big exit. Also work well in my marauder .25 but much slower.

More per package of course

These are extremely well made and uniform. Squirrels don't stand a chance. Worth trying if you're hunting with a .25 pcp

Packaging and overall quality is topnotch.

Nothing

I've heard all the stories along the way 9f how this particular slug was supposed to perform even in choked barrels so gave them a try. I shot the .25 caliber 26 grain slugs using my Hatsan Flashpup at 890 fps. At my 38 yard target it was shooting 1.5" plus groups where 25.39 gr JSB King pellets average .5" or less for 10 shot groups. A friend shot them through both of his Flashpups and the results were worse. If you are lucky enough to be shooting a gun worth as much as a decent used car then you will probably get great results, for everyone else like me stick to pellets.

Excellent service.

Nothing

Long distance accuracy. Quick kill shots and great sound affects

Price

Accurate ,shot a bottle center bottom it exploted it in pieces the whole bottle.easy loading in umarex gaunlet.25 love these.

More for the money/price high but good product worth the money.

Try them you're like them

These grouped well out of my Avenger. The packaging of the slugs is top shelf... The slugs are beautiful, the comparison would be fine dining compared to fast food...

These are really expensive

Hades work just as well out of my rifle on small game at a fraction of the price... I certainly see a use for these (think coyote, raccoons or long range) the BC has to be better then a dome. A reduction in price or a bump in count would make these a no brainer. These have to be the finest mass production air gun ammo available!!!

These are amazing slugs! My .25 cal umarex gauntlet loves these. Extremely accurate and great power dispersion on target.

Nothing, But if I had to pick it would be the packaging, I love the individual spaces for the slugs, but the packet sleeve makes it difficult to select just one, needs a selector hole in the package possibly.

Dont hesitate to get these slugs!

Accurate, clean, great when shooting any distance.

Price, could be a little cheaper.

If these slugs were a bit cheaper, they would be the only ammo I would shoot through my Benjamin Armada.

Could not use them. They fell down the barrel of my Marauder after I load them. I called Pyramid air several times but they never got back to me. Terrible support. Do not buy.

Nice slugs expand and group well out of my Hatsan FlashPup .25 cal

THESE SLUGS DID NOT PERFORM AT ALL IN MY WILDCAT WITH THE SMOOTH TWIST BARREL . I COULD NOT GET THEM TO GROUP NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED.... WILL TRY THE NEW JAVALENS WHEN THEY COME IN 25 CAL...

They are packaged very well and have great expansion.

As others have said, they are expensive. But because of the design, its understandable why they would cost more.(but that much more?). They are quite dirty and I clean them up the way I do the other JSB pellets. I dont actually clean them or lube them. I swirl them around in a wire mesh colander over a paper towel in the sink until the lead shavings stop coming out.

I have the FX Crown with the 600mm STX Superior liner and a dual transfer port installed. I have the hammer spring set at a 15mm gap and and the reg pressure at 150 bar. On the max setting I get a velocity of about 960 for the slugs, and about 880 for the JSB King Heavy MKII. On the #4 setting I also get about 880 with the JSB King. Between 880 and 900 is the sweet spot for the pellets and the faster the better for slugs. The superior liner shoots the pellets just as well as the STX. I have only been able to shoot groups out to 50 yards so far and a dime covers the Kings and a nickel covers the King Heavy MKII. The hybrids shoot groups under an inch. Half of which is within half an inch. From what I have seen, the hybrids need a bit more distance to stabilize. Im hoping to see tighter groups out to 75 yards and up. The slugs shoot faster and flatter and really open up on impact.

Very uniform, but did have one dented one

Have an oversized port on my M-rod and they don't load easily. May have to deburr it better. The Griffins I bought didn't have as much difficulty

Just opened them today and out of my talon 12 inch barrel doing 50 fpe they are rocking . Took them out to 150 yards on a squirrel size target 3 hits in a row . Could have done more but these things are not cheep.

price

These slugs are dynamite; much faster, sleeker and more stopping power

Nothing.

They cost more but are way better in my guns

This product is well packaged and seems to be very high quality. The slugs are very consistent. The expansion is great and it doesn't penetrate wood backstops very far which is what I was looking for.

The don't shoot consistently at 50 yards from my SK19. It's not designed for slugs but I was hoping for a hunting slug and I can't hit anything with these slugs. At 50 yards the gun seems to be very accurate with King Heavy pellets.

They don't seem to shoot strait from my SK19. If you don't have the FX slug barrel I'd probably stick with a polymag for hunting.
