But I wonder about reasonable setups with less equipment for a small test batchTell me what is stupid about this plan to cast maybe 8-16 slugs just as a test run:1. melt dry, clean lead pellets in tin cup over camping stove or electric hot plate outdoors, lowest effective heat setting.
Please be aware not all Slugs work in all air rifles and that your barrel may not be able to shoot slugs. The slug weight with that mix comes to 34.5grain and shoots at about 780fps with a very high BC for air rifle. I found that the best mix for my air rifle is a very soft slug of BHN 5-8.
These behave quite differently from anything else I have shot with the TalonP. It will NOT perform well. That’s what the NOE site felt like to me. The 52 grain shoots great and NO .257 will NOT work in the .25.

The whole skit is one guy trying to figure out what cheese is in stock (there isn’t any). Being heavy, I have to use higher PW settings to achieve decent velocities so I have to do more hand pumping, get fewer shots per fill… a small but noticeable price to pay.Accuracy seems comparable to other pellets at the close range I shoot.So now I can save my expensive store-bought pellets for some occasion when I need something with better accuracy or perhaps a flatter trajectory, or just get tired of pumping every 20 shots.
