FX King gets an outing….

Just over an hour and a half this morning,

Brilliant result mate, well done
What power were you running at?

 

[wytonpjs]

Just looked at the price - spendy, too spendy for me

 

[Tugmanade]

Nice one Tony

From memory I think 45ftlbs, 16 and 2.5 on the adjusters with 25.4g Zan slugs.

Reading the spec for the .22, it's saying only up to 28.5 ft lbs. Just sold my old .22 FAC and awaiting a 1-4-1 to come back and currently looking around................

 

[Triggermortis]

With the longer slug barrel and heavy slugs it an an 80ftlb gun when turned right up.

AGT Vulcan is what I wish I'd purchased, happy with my FX Crown, but in reality, I'm never going to fiddle with the reg etc. I do adjust the power wheel sometimes, but for the last year it's been running pretty much on max.

 

[Triggermortis]

I bought the Zan slugs with the gun, set it up, turned the adjuster to I think 13 then upped it bit by bit till it dialled in the accuracy, then did the same with the fine adjuster, it’s now like a laser at 70yds and I haven’t touched it since.
I did measure the muzzle energy which worked out at 45ftlbs, having seen it can shoot 43g slugs I couldn’t bring myself to mess about trying to max out power as it’s shooting so well so I’ve left it alone,

Great reduction in numbers for these invasive killers. The ones hat survived winter but not being left to multiply, especially as the does will likely be have litters or at least be gravid. Was that off feeders? Excellent conservation work

 

[Triggermortis]

Yes it was, I was filling the two feeders up with 2 x 2L milk containers of peanuts every second day, Tip:- I changed from cheap rubbish peanuts without the brown skin to good quality feed peanuts with the skin(not shells)and it changed the game.

 

[Cyres]

Whole maize is what you should try. Also a lot cheaper.

[Klenchblaize]

Nice haul. Pity they are "out of season" (for me)!

Interesting that you're using the zan non lead pellets, my friend has an FX in fac (.25) and he can't get any non lead to group at all?

 

[trickie]

A great morning work. What do you do with the carcasses?

Never handled or shot the King, owned a few FX rifles from the Wildcat and a couple of different versions of Impact. All very nice to own and shoot, easy enough to tune as well.
A good choice

They are lead slugs not pellets.

 

[Ratcatcher]

They are lead slugs not pellets.

Ah, my mistake, I thought all the zan stuff was non lead?

Yes sometimes less “ fiddling “ equals better plan, stick with what works

All used as fox bait at chicken egg farms so nothing wasted.
