Excite Spike 4.5mm – all-round pellets for precision shooting at medium range

These Excite Spike pellets combine a 4.5mm calibre with a 8.64 grain weight in a thoughtfully designed pointed shape. The ribbed projectile is specially developed for shooters seeking consistent performance in CO₂-powered air pistols, break barrel air rifles, and pump-action air rifles. With 400 pieces per pack, you have ample ammunition for extended shooting sessions at distances up to approximately 50 metres.

Our experience from the Shogun team

What makes these Spike pellets special is their predictable flight behaviour. The pointed shape cuts efficiently through the air, while the 8.64 grain weight ensures stability in flight. In our tests with various air rifles up to 25-30 joules, they produced consistent groupings at 50 metres. The ribs on the projectile provide optimal sealing in the barrel, resulting in uniform muzzle velocities shot after shot.

Technical features in practice

The lead material with a 4.5mm diameter and pointed shape creates an excellent balance between penetration and energy transfer. The 8.64 grain mass places these pellets in the medium-weight segment – heavy enough to resist wind, yet light enough for flat trajectories. The ribbed construction not only improves grip in the barrel, but also minimises lead fouling. This means less maintenance for your air rifle and more consistent performance over time.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These pellets are ideal for recreational shooters who value reliability and precision. They excel in CO₂-powered airguns where their medium weight perfectly matches the available energy. They also deliver excellent results in break barrel and pump-action air rifles for plinking and target shooting. It is worthwhile to test different pellet weights in your specific air rifle – a chronograph helps to determine the actual energy output and optimal performance.
