You're a bad influence, Mine will arrive in a few days....
I really want to try "slugs" They're hollow pointed with a hollow cavity and shaped more like a short varmint bullet than a wasp waist pellet.
The 350 might shoot fast enough to make them useful, I'll see.
Apparently others are curious too, they're sold out everywhere but Ted's Holdover has a short video on youtube that got me thinking.
It's not just entertainment, it's for research and science and stuff... guess I need to order another Hawke scope and a mount.

Update, The 350 N-tec shoots fine.
It's a new 2016 model so the stock isn't as sexy as the one on the website. Maybe a transition model.? The forend is straight and conventional but the rear is cut like the newest model..
AOA ran it over their chronograph before shipping and the print out says 900fps with 11.5gr pellets.
I'm shooting Crosman 14+ gr and I don't know the velocity but they shoot through 1/2" plywood at 50 yds, that'll do.
Fiber optic sights are nice but I used an RWS one piece scope mount and a Burris Timberline 4.5-14 with holdover dots, I'm cheap and it was sitting unused..
Zeroed at 30yds and 2nd dot is 50 works fine for seasonal pigeons in the barn.
I haven't tried slugs yet. They're reported to be a much tighter fit than pellets and cam be troublesome is non PCP rifles, I've .no free time to experiment right now anyway.
I'm hoping you're all finding something fun to shoot.

It says they are out of stock so I'm good. Would have jumped for a 25 gas spring gun. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
