HP Slugs .217 30.5gr – heavy slug for PCP air rifle at long range

These hollow point slugs from ZAN Projectiles are developed for powerful PCP systems from 40 joules. With a weight of 30.5 grain and a diameter of 5.5mm, these projectiles deliver excellent performance at distances of 75 to 100 metres. The hollow point design ensures optimal energy transfer on impact, making these slugs particularly suitable for pest control when sufficient power is available.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, these slugs demonstrate stable flight behaviour at velocities between 800 and 1050 fps. The ballistic coefficient of 0.102 - 0.128 indicates that the projectile retains its velocity well over longer distances. The controlled expansion of the hollow point ensures effective energy transfer without excessive fragmentation, resulting in consistent performance at distances up to 100 metres.

Technical properties in practice

With a length of 9.2mm and made from lead, these slugs offer a good balance between weight and aerodynamics. The calibre of 5.5mm in combination with 30.5 grain makes them suitable for PCP rifles with sufficient power. The packaging contains 200 pieces, giving you more than enough for extensive testing sessions to find the optimal setup for your rifle.

Who are these air rifle slugs suitable for?
