ARG Slugs 5.5mm 29.3 grain – heavy slug for PCP air rifles with power

This slug from ARG is, at 29.3 grain, a heavy projectile in the 5.5mm calibre. Thanks to the innovative design with a cylindrical cavity at the base, this hollow point slug perfectly conforms to the barrel wall of your air rifle. This prevents pressure loss during the shot, resulting in consistent performance. The lead protrusion in the centre of the cavity ensures mass retention, which translates into a flat trajectory and reduced wind sensitivity at distances of 75 to 100 metres.

Our experience from the Shogun team

The cold pressing of soft lead results in highly uniform slugs with a length of 8.9mm. This uniformity is immediately noticeable in grouping at distance. The hollow point construction ensures excellent energy transfer on impact, while the heavy weight of 29.3 grain keeps the slug stable in gusts of wind. At distances between 75 and 100 metres, this slug maintains its precision, provided it is fired from a PCP air rifle with sufficient power.

Technical properties in practice

With a calibre of 5.5mm and a weight of 29.3 grain, this lead slug is specially developed for powerful PCP systems from 40 Joules. The hollow point pellet shape in combination with the patented design (WIPO 122190) ensures optimal airflow and stability. Each pack contains 100 pieces, enough to test various distances and settings. Testing these slugs with a chronograph gives you immediate insight into the velocity and energy output of your specific air rifle.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

This slug is ideal for experienced PCP shooters seeking precision at medium to long ranges. The heavy projectile requires an air rifle with at least 40 Joules of power to perform optimally. If you regularly shoot at distances of 75 to 100 metres and value a flat trajectory with minimal wind deviation, then this ARG slug is an excellent choice. The hollow point construction also makes this slug suitable for pest control, but the use of an air rifle for this purpose is legally regulated. In many cases, an exemption or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users.
