FX Hybrid Slug, .30 Reviews

Very accurate out of my m3. I'm getting 1.5" groups at 100 yards not sub moa buy good enough for me.

Packaging, I'm not a fan of it rather see them ship in a bag like nsa's. Pricing seems a little steep compared to other brands.

If your shooting an fx I contacted there tech support and they give me a tune for my gun which was very helpful to get me started.

Packaging is cool. Feels very individualized.

Add some kind of tool to seat the slug the same every time.

These were hard to seat the same every time on my .30 cal. HATSAN BREAK BARREL. Perhaps they seat more consistently in another gun. Great looking slug though.

Very accurate slug that produces higher velocity due to it's lighter weight. The extra velocity aids in achieving explosive expansion and a flat trajectory. Terminal performance on small game like squirrels is impressive, with massive fragmentation causing multiple exit wounds at 85fpe energy levels. Performance is also impressive on groundhogs, delivering DRT bodyshots, while being accurate enough for off hand 50 yard headshots. The surface finish of the slugs are like glass, and is significantly better than the surface of my previous go to ammo, NSA slugs. The minor burs in the hollow point don't effect the rounds accuracy, and I have successfully taken game at 100 yards reliably with my FX Maverick VP .30cal shooting the FX Hybrids Slugs at 930fps.

The ammo is expensive, almost twice as expensive as similar NSA slugs. They should offer these is 500 round bulk packages at a reduced price. I've had to slit the paper sleeve in order to get the ammo out of the package, which is a pain. I wish they just had a paper cover like a pellet lid so it would be easier to pop back on after getting a dozen slugs out to fill my magazine.

Since this ammunition has shown a tendency to fragment, it may not be a good fit for larger game where more penetration is needed. I have yet to test this ammo out on coyote sized game.

Consistent targeting

None

Enough stopping power for hunting

I like how it's packed.

Great slugs

Keep them dry

I recieved the box dry, slugs were soaked in water.. now I'm cleaning every one... sucks...

Very accurate and sustained velocity. These slugs work great in LESHIY 2.

The slugs are exactly .30 cal this can cause the slugs to fall out of open end magazines such as the Leshiy 2.

Packaging is nice to prevent any dings on the slugs. I can get around 930 fps before they get a bit squirrely out of my fx impact mk3. Thats about 85 fpe.

Really nothing

These slugs are shooting about the same as jsb pellets which is nice. Holds a pattern less then a 1/2" at 50 yards. My impact is originally a .35 caliber gun so with some more range time it should tighten up.

Uniform and well packaged

Expensive for plinking, maybe 150 for the same price?

Sub MOA out of my FX Crown MK2 at 100 yards. Nice expansion and I've yet to have a flyer after 300 rounds!

The .30 cal Hatsan BT 65 hasn't been a tack driver for me. Their .22 and .177's definitely have. Purchased a couple boxes of the 44.5g FX slugs, to satisfy my curiosity. They've decreased the spread from over 2 inches at 50 yds to less than an inch. This will be a lot more fun now.

A bit pricey, but what isn't these days. They are all in individual sockets in the box, so that's something.

I'd ordered some other pellets, too, and everything was packaged with the usual Pyramyd Air finesse.

Very accurate at close and long distances when shooting through the impact m3 30 cal with superior liner

Price is high compared to some other slugs available. 200 count for current price would be fair.

Shoot them around 965 fps to achieve best accuracy. Expansion is awesome when it hits the target.

Consistent shape no nicks or dents. Fly great out my FX Impact

Nothing

No jamming

Uniform and packed very well. Shoot great out of my AEA hp max.

Different weights! Lead free options!

Slugs were clean, no bent skirts, slugs are accurate out of my hercules bully. Hits hard. GOOD EXPANSION ALSO

Even though they are slugs, need more per container. 125 at least up to 150 or reduce the price.

Haven't had a chance to shoot any game with them but just from shooting them at targets and seeing the exit hole they make/leave, I'm sure deer won't stand a chance. At 55 yrds they grouped great and my avg fps was 920. I will buy these in 4 pks so that way 1 pk is free. Helps make up for the price. I'm not really a slug shooter, just wanted to try them and I would suggest them to air gunners if you plan to shoot slugs.

Not much. My first shot out of a 20 shot group was a 12 o'clock center. After that they were totally inconsistent. At 25 yards from a bench rest, 16 grouped to 2 inches. Three shots were bad flyers 4 inches off center. One really bad flyer at 5 inches off center.

FX needs to test and tune their ammo in their rifles. My owners manual says they test with JSB and my experience with JSB in my FX rifle is excellent. However, it speaks volumes when you support your competitor's product over your own and my test above makes you want to scratch your head.

The packaging is nice and you would think it would keep the slugs in perfect shape. Not so much, I could tell by looking at them that they weren't all perfect. That may account for the flyers I had. However, for a hunting slug in an air rifle there needs to be a confidence and consistency level. I would never take these slugs into the field because 5 inches could either be a total miss or an injuring shot that does not totally dispatch the game. 5 inches... Sorry.

This is a great slug that works great in my Impact. It fits with no problems. It has allot of knock down power. The expansion of the slug helps to knock down any game you are shooting.

Nothing

A lethal laser beam (.30 cal FX Crown Continuum GRS Stock)... Well packaged & uniform. Not one flyer out over 300 shots!

Nothing...

They cycle well outta the magazine. I'm in love! I won't use anything else in this rifle.

This is the most accurate slug out of my 700mm .30 Impact M3, and I tried 13 different slugs in the 44 to 54gr range from all the major manufacturers. The FX slugs have all been in good condition with almost no rejects to date. They are right around 1MOA out to 200 yards for me.

If you factor in the Pyramyd buy 3 get 1 free pricing, these are the second cheapest .30 slugs out there and only slightly more expensive than the cheapest options. If you have an FX, try a pack of these first so you know if you are wasting time with other slugs. My M3 is stock (no slug power kit add-ons) and I'm shooting them in the (current) standard 1:22 superior barrel. Final reg at 150 bar, hammer setting at 4.5 minus 3 clicks on the micro adjuster, valve wide open, speed 957 fps. They could potentially tighten up even more at higher speeds but I don't want to go higher on the reg and lose shot count. Also, if you are shooting a .30 FX, you need to know what twist rate your barrel is. FX has changed the twist rates on .30 superior barrels a few times so you can't just go by name, you need to measure it.

Overall nice slug. They come in a nice individual holder.

Yeah a little expensive.

Not has accurate as standard domed style pellets. But I have had confirmed dispatches of rock chucks out to 80 yards with my FX Crown MK II.

Stops prairie dogs in their tracks

Poor accuracy Three inch grouping at fifty yards I get one inch groups with the Diablo brand
