[/quote]Do you know what liner is in the FX? I don’t intend to go down the slug hole but I’m not going to say I’ll never do it…[/quote]

450BM Mine has the superior standard liner, not the heavy slug barrel. If you can drive the 33.95 grains at 900 fps, I'd bet the 29.5 grain slugs would be accurate. Shooting the slugs reminds me of shooting wadcutters out of a revolver, nice clean cut holes.

Pm me your address and I'll drop some in the mail for you to try, no sense buying a box if they won't shoot.

Now I'm jealous of your 80 yard range! At my buddy's house we have 35 and 50 yards set up. Not sure how many palm trees you have in PA, but a palm tree sliced like salami abut 10 inches thick and then sawed flat on the bottom makes a heck of pellet stop, quiet and effective. Just a tip.
