IT’S TIME FOR THE SLUGFEST

So here is part two of my Quest for Slugs. Sounds like a film, but not a good one! So did I actually find one that works? Was this a total waste of time? How much did I need to clean my gun?

But before getting into all that, I had to gather some slugs to test and that meant waiting. After lots and lots of time spent waiting for as many slugs as I could muster, supplies eventually arrived from abroad and it was finally time to put them to the test. But were there any more?

Now – and this was very, very lucky – I had to buy some .22 LR bullets, and just my luck my local shop had none in stock. I needed them ASAP, so I went to the other gun shop in Chelmsford and luckily they had some. I got chatting to this guy whose dad was into FAC airguns and wouldn’t you know it – he made his own slugs! How fortuitous was that?

I suggested that his dad give me a call, as maybe I could try some out for him. Now at this point I did not hold out much hope because up to now nothing had really worked that well.
