   I have an FX too, and it seems as that 18 grn pellet at 910 fps is a real sweet spot. I would love to try the slugs, but in surfing terms, one should never leave good waves in the hope of finding better waves.

Plus they are more expensive.

	Cool, I've recently got a couple of centrefire rifles. I have yet to do any hunting, but I fancy trying for a deer. I mostly get hares with my FX. I've shot my 308 at the NZHL range a few times.

	Wow awesome! I will in time go down the slug path but will start the JSBs heavies. I'm trying to figure out how much big game hunting I have left in me, so heading down this path as bunnies and birds are an option that will keep me shooting. Selling off the centrefires to help pay for it all. Still love to reload so one centrefire shall remain. Shoot mostly at NZHL and a occasional bit of light hunting.

	Hi flock, I'm continuing the discussion here rather than in the introductions forum. I bought mine to shoot slugs, so I've tuned and tinkered with it some. If you want to to shoot pellets, it should be tuned to shoot 18gr JSB exacts (assuming you got the .22) at around 910 fps. It should be pretty accurate with those pellets. I've added extra plenum space and a Huma air high flow transfer port. http://www.huma-air.com/High-Flow-V2-Dual-Hole-Transfer-Port-For-FX-Impact,-Dreamline,-Crown,-Maverick-and-Wildcat-MKIII I also made a barrel band as the barrel is too flexy for my liking, making it not such a great field gun for carrying around.
