TESTING Slugs In A Break Barrel - H&N Slug test with SIG ASP20

Published on June 29, 2020
Duration: 4:52

This video tests H&N slugs in a SIG ASP 20 break barrel air rifle, demonstrating their effectiveness at various distances. The instructor emphasizes that while results vary by firearm, the SIG ASP 20, despite having a standard choked barrel, shows good accuracy with slugs. Testing includes velocity measurements and practical shooting at targets representing small game.

Quick Summary

H&N slugs can be effective in break barrel air rifles like the SIG ASP 20, even with standard choked barrels. While individual gun performance varies, testing shows good accuracy and knockdown power at various distances, though high altitude can reduce projectile velocity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can H&N slugs be used in break barrel air rifles?

Yes, H&N slugs can be effective in break barrel air rifles. While individual firearm performance varies, testing with the SIG ASP 20, a standard choked barrel rifle, showed good accuracy and effectiveness with these slugs.

Does a choked barrel affect slug performance in air rifles?

A standard choked barrel, like the one on the SIG ASP 20, can still perform well with slugs. This video demonstrates that specialized slug barrels are not always necessary for good accuracy with slugs in break barrel air rifles.

What factors influence air rifle slug velocity?

Projectile velocity in air rifles is influenced by factors such as the slug's weight, the rifle's power, and environmental conditions like altitude. Testing at high altitudes, like one mile high, will result in lower velocities than at sea level.

Is the SIG ASP 20 suitable for shooting slugs?

The SIG ASP 20 is a highly accurate break barrel air rifle that has proven to be suitable for shooting slugs. Its standard choked barrel and rifling configuration performed well during extensive slug testing.
