Slug HP | 5.5mm | 21gr | 200pcs | H&N

H&N Slug HP 5.5mm 21gr – Heavy slug for PCP shooters at medium ranges

The H&N Slug HP combines a 5.5mm calibre with 21 grains in a hollow point design. This slug is specifically developed for powerful PCP air rifles from 40 joules and performs optimally between 40 and 60 joules. Thanks to its streamlined shape and higher weight, this projectile retains its energy better than traditional pellets, resulting in a flatter trajectory at distances up to 75-100 metres.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, we notice that this H&N slug shows its power from 50 metres. The ballistic coefficient ensures a stable flight, even in light crosswinds. The hollow point design contributes to controlled energy transfer upon impact. At 75 metres, these slugs maintain their precision excellently, provided they are fired from a PCP system with sufficient power. The manual inspection and foam-cushioned packaging by H&N guarantee consistent quality.

Technical properties in practice

With a weight of 21 grains in 5.5mm calibre, this slug requires an air rifle with at least 25 joules, but ideally 40-60 joules for optimal performance. The lead material in combination with the hollow point profile ensures excellent energy transfer. The packaging contains 200 pieces, with each projectile visually inspected. H&N offers these slugs in various diameters (0.217/0.218) to perfectly match different barrel profiles.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

This slug is ideal for experienced PCP shooters seeking precision at medium to long ranges. Think of field target competitions at 50-100 metres or technical shooters who want to get the most out of their air rifle. Thanks to the hollow point design, this projectile is also suitable for pest control, but please note that the use of an air rifle for control purposes is legally regulated. In many cases, a permit or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users. Testing different grains with a chronograph helps you find the ideal match between your air rifle and this ammunition.
