Hi,

I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a great product, which I am just about to re-order.

I have been trying for some while to find a slug that would shoot well from my Brocock Sniper XR magnum ( FAC ).

It has a choked Lothar Walther barrel as you may know, and I tried many different makes, FX Hybrid, Zan, JSB, H&N

and lots of different weights. I finally remembered I’d had some slugs from you in the past, and then ordered the sample

pack of Pro Hunter slugs in .25 calibre.

Well the 30 grain High Impact slugs are amazing and are grouping better than my preferred pellet, the JSB 33.49 grain Jumbo Monsters.

Pic attached below. 5 shot group at 60 yards. I added 1 drop of pellet lube to the tin. 

Please feel free to use the pic on your website if that helps.

Very happy with these slugs, thank you : )

Best wishes,

Message: I purchase some of your 17.8gr slugs some time ago for ratting and they worked very well in my AA410 with sub 10mm groups. Today I was fitting a moderator to my old HW35. I checked zero with the usual 14gr pellet it seemed to like. Then out of curiosity I tried a Prohunter slug. It hit the same point as the 14gr pellets subsequent slugs showed a group of less than 10mm at 18 metres. I got the impression that terminal velocity was also much better. Very surprising results with HW35. However, I now have a pellet I can use with both rifles. Do you have a BC for these pellets?

I forgot to mention that the Weihrauch HW35 is only at 10 fpd. That is about the best that design will do but will easily deal with rat at 20 yards especially with your pellets. I don’t know why I did’nt try them before. I just assumed it would not have enough power.

Yes of course you can use my feedback. I have tried others but the quality is just not good enough.

Hi Yvonne,

Two groups shot at 24 yds with your 10.5gn .177 slugs. On the left is a 5 shot group. I know 24 yds isn’t extreme but it is the furthest I can get in our garden. Really pleased and impressed with the slugs; currently using up the 13gn slugs on squirrels and they are devastating. I will definitely be ordering more from you!

If you wish to use the picture on your site please feel free to do so.

Kind regards,

Hi there I finally got around to testing the 17.8gn slug sample pack I got from you a while back and i must say they performed rather impressively. Here is a 5 shot group at 50yds through my HW100 full length I will have to buy some more when I get paid! Thanks ******



Hi Graham and Yvonne this is a 5 shot group with the 18grn standard slugs out of my Leishy at 30m just thought I'd share it with you.

Kind regards

2nd reply -

Oh yes they definitely pack a punch, I'm looking forward to testing the 18grn on some squirrels hopefully tomorrow morning.

To give you background, I happen to be in the proverbial backyard of American Competition Air Rifle Shooting--Colorado. Colorado is the proud home of the US Olympic Committee as well as the headquarters of the US Olympic Training Facility. We host athletes from all over the world, and I've even had the privilege of meeting the US Olympic 10 Meter Air Rifle Team. Suffice it to say, Colorado takes its air rifles seriously.

Of course, so does Britain. It is no accident that I am the proud owner of 4 British-made Daystate Red Wolf air rifles in .177, .22, .25, and .30 calibers. I wanted only the best and I scoured the globe for ammunition worthy of these magnificent machines. Through various outlets online, I was tickled pink when I learned of Pro Hunter Swaging UK.

To me, it meant the world to learn of the existence of a boutique family-owned shop still versed in the ways of handcrafted metallurgy. In a post-Industrial digital era, it warmed my heart to know that there were holdouts still honoring their craft and hand-swaging air rifle ammunition. Based on your sterling reputation, I placed my first order and I have been a happy shooter ever since. Your ammunition flies true and its consistency never wavers even during the gusting winds we experience in Colorado's alpine snowstorms. As I've relayed in prior correspondence, there is a subjective sound that these slugs make when they connect with their intended target--it is a satisfying thud that cannot be reproduced by any other ammunition!

I want you to know that your customer service is second to none. Even though we have not met in person, I feel that I have partners across the Atlantic. It makes me happy to share a love of such a fun sport. Here's 4 photos for your consumption:

1) 25-yard 10-shot group right out of the plastic zip pouch, knowing that the 3 o'clock flyer and pair of 10 o'clock flyers were my fault with scope error :)

2) Brand new steel targets for testing your slugs (unblemished out of the box)

3) 25-yard accuracy on a steel gopher; I became more confident and placed 3 shots on the paw

4) 25-yard accuracy on a steel Jax; I grew more intrepid and "walked" 3 shots on the steel upright beam below the circle

PPS If you post this feedback online anywhere, then please redact out my name as I'd like to keep my air rifle spending to myself--thank you!



Message: Thanks again for producing a great product.
Although I started with the 13gr slugs I now use the 15gr slugs with phenomenal results for accuracy on live quarry
.I doubt I will ever put another pellet through the rifle
.Keep up the good work ?

Good morning Graham, 

Feel free to use my comments in feedback. 

 Out last night on a farm with a serious rat problem, but the rats are very cagey about showing themselves. All you end up seeing is a pair of eyes in amongst the piles of wood, as they don't come out I shoot into the gaps in the wood pile to take them out. 

Although it might seem an expensive use of slugs the accuracy means I can take shots that I can't achieve with pellets. 

one hole groups at 30m, when I say one hole it's not a ragged hole, it's a single hole. 

Regards ******



Dear Graham/Yvonne

                              Thanks for the excellent service. Result's so far:

Air Arms S400 regulated HFT @ 600.6 fps 10.4 ftlbs - compared to JSB Ultra heavy's - see photo. Not the ideal medium to shoot into ( large Tooling catalogue ) but very respectable all the same - expanded to over 9mm !! Heavies 11.78 ftlbs !! (the pellet on the left) Residual weight = 12.7 gn - superb. Next: group testing   

All the best 



Thanks Graham.

Been getting on great with the 177's so far. As has a friend of mine who you will be hearing from very soon!!

They shoot well out of the fx wildcat mk3.

Have yet to try .22 through other fx. Your product speaks for its self well.

Regards******



Received the 13 grn standard slugs today thank you..

So i got out and shot them this afternoon in cold but calm conditions in my usual location out to 70 yds .

My gun was set a touch lower than last time at 800 - 810 fps (19 fpe ) area . I did a barrel clean this time and group size was a bit better groups at 40 yds (zero ) were blisteringly good (8 mm c/c) 50 - 60 - 70 yds increased in dispersion but generally held onto around 1.25 inch at 70 yds (the cold weather started to effect poi as it dropped into evening ) 

So, so far I'm pleased that this tune seams to be working as far as accuracy .

Now I zeroed the gun at 40 yds and had targets at 10 yd intervals to test trajectory .and it seemed to confirm (with my reticle and drop ) that the bc is around 0.07 for these slugs .

Which is excellent .

I did one other test before the light failed this eve.and that was my expansion test .

I use 2 packs of raw bacon which provides 2 inches of flesh to shoot through. I have a pellet catcher behind the bacon )which imparts no effect on the pellet /slug in terms of deformation . So any expansion of the slug seen is imparted by the bacon .

I shot 1 slug at 20 yds and 1 at 70 yds .i also shot a jsb exact 8.44 grn at 965 (17.5 fpe ) at these ranges for comparison .the images below tell the story and im hugely impressed that this expansion took place over such a short distance .

From 4.5 mm to 7 mm in 2 inches is very impressive .

My next job is to record the exit velocities of these slugs and pellets to calculate energy transfer and also to confirm bc over my chronos .

 Regards ****** .



Hi Graham

I burned through most of them yesterday, in summary (with practice ) they will all do Sub MOA at 100y, Looking at the 60g and 53G there are overlapping holes at 100Ys!!

So I would like to thank you for developing such a fantastic Slug range – you should be very proud.

Video failed – Battery only lasted a 2 minutes!

Anyway these are the results I got on Paper all zeroed at 50y (to jsb 44.75)

50g 865fps 100y group 4 shot 27mm +2.5 Mrad

60g 800fps 100y group 4 shot 25mm +3.5 Mrad (same evelation as JSB 44.75!)

53g 823fps 100y group 3 shot 25mm +3 Mrad

58g 790fps 100y group 3 shot 20mm +3.5 Mrad

I handled about 100 slugs and didn’t get dirty fingers – so I am very impressed at how clean you supply them

100y Performance was stellar and I will use the rest at 200+ ( on paper) – today while there is still no wind!

Compared to JSB 44.75 the slugs land ½ Mrad to the left, or the JSBS land ½ mrad to the right – either way it doesn’t matter

On my 100y cards I adjusted for this only on the 53g and 60G – and I even hit the 15mm bullseye eye on the 100y 60G card!

Many thanks again- I now have the dliema of which batch to order next –



Message: Absolutely fantastic product my first foray into. 25 slug shooting
 

Ordered a sample of high impacts in 30 & 32gn left scope adjustment as for Jsb kings 25.4gn but adjusted power up to 50ft/lb over chrono for testing at 50 yards Two 4 shot groups 5mm or so from bull all shots touching Will fit high flow valve outlet and test at higher energy and range Slugs very well made and uniform fit a treat into breech and were lubed and dried with liquid bees wax which I've used to good effect in muzzle loading pistol shooting using ball and bullet in .36 and. 44 calibres

Will be ordering some more very shortly

Message: On my second batch of slugs ,13gr in .177 .
Took a while to tweak gun for best results but now there
.Rabbits definitely don't like them , but I do
.50m shots no problem , getting to like these slugs very much
.Might try a few heavier slugs at some point but if it ain't broke I don't need to fix it so would purely be experiment
.13 gr lovely flat tragetery.....

Hi Graham/Yvonne

Very much appreciated thank you! I did some testing last Wednesday with the sample pack you sent. In Hertfordshire it was VERY windy. I achieved a 5” group at 86m which with 177 in gusting wind I think is more than acceptable.

What speeds do you recommend for the 13, 15 and 18gr slug? I’m using my Fx impact with the smooth twist x barrel.

I will be testing more over the next few days whilst the weather is calm. I will provide more feedback!

Regards
