Lead-Free Slugs from Zan Projectiles – lightweight slugs for precision at medium ranges

These lead-free slugs from Zan Projectiles, with a 4.5mm caliber and 8.5 grains, are specifically developed for shooters who want to shoot in an environmentally conscious way without compromising on performance. The streamlined design of these metal projectiles provides excellent aerodynamics, making them suitable for break barrel and pump-action air rifles with a power output around 25-30 joules. At distances up to approximately 50 metres, these lightweight slugs perform optimally.

Our experience from the Shogun team

What immediately stands out about these Zan Projectiles slugs is their consistent flight stability. Thanks to the lead-free metal alloy of copper and tin, they are not only more environmentally friendly, but also surprisingly uniform in weight and shape. This results in predictable grouping at distances up to 50 metres. The streamlined profile noticeably reduces air resistance, resulting in a flatter trajectory than you would expect from traditional pellets.

Technical features in practice

With a caliber of 4.5mm and a weight of 8.5 grains, these slugs are in the lighter segment. The metal projectile has an optimised shape that ensures better energy transfer on impact. The packaging contains 200 pieces, sufficient for extensive testing sessions. Their lead-free nature makes them ideal for use in nature reserves where lead ammunition is prohibited. A chronograph can help you determine the optimal velocity for your air rifle.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

These slugs are perfect for the conscious shooter who enjoys experimenting with different projectiles. They are especially suitable for owners of break barrel or pump-action air rifles who are looking for better performance at medium ranges without switching to heavier ammunition. For shooters who regularly visit areas where the use of lead is restricted, these projectiles also offer an excellent alternative. Testing different grains remains valuable for finding the optimal match with your air rifle.
