Well Randy set me up with a modded valve and .25 barrel in my Condor and I have been shooting some third party 62 grain slugs at about 850 fps and 100 fpe. They do have hunting accuracy - under 1" at 50 yards but I found that some of the home casting types have cast and sized a .25 52 grain pistol slugs that two folks are claiming are very accurate with the Lothar Walther choked barrel and I am going to be getting my mitts on just a few of them to try. They are getting them flying about 920+ fps for near the same energy with a hi-flo valve and a higher top hat setting .098 - .104 and stock striker and spring. I think I can push mid to upper 900s with my setup. Is anyone else using solid cast slugs successfully for hunting at maybe longer ranges? Thanks in advance.

Re: Heavy Slugs
A second guy is sizing them to the same spec as the original developer and he claims they are real accurate and is sending me a few to try. For close-in hog hunting the guys are using the 62 and 70 grain Surefires but i am looking for coons and opossums out to maybe 125 yards if I can get it. I think the 52 grains sound great if they are accurate. With my setup I should get close to 20 good shots with 490 cc. I am using the 62 grain Surefires for calling in an occasional coyote (30-40 lbs) but most of my hunting is the smaller varmints under 15 lbs.

Re: Heavy Slugs
The Eun Jins are about the same. JSB or H&N needs to kick out a 50 grain .25 pellet with good accuracy given the current power of these PCPs for the choked barrels and I think it would sell very well.
