H&N Slug HP 5.5mm 23gr – heavy slug for PCP shooters at medium range

This slug for PCP air rifle from H&N combines a 5.5mm caliber with a 23 grain weight in a hollow point design. The aerodynamic projectile is specifically developed for powerful PCP systems from 40 joules, with the favourable ballistic coefficient ensuring a flat trajectory up to 75-100 metres. The projectile shape distinguishes itself from traditional pellets by its torpedo-shaped design, which excels in wind drift resistance.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, these slugs demonstrate impressive flight stability, especially noticeable beyond 50 metres where diabolo pellets lose precision. The lead projectile retains its energy excellently thanks to the high BC value, resulting in consistent hits at 75-100 metres. The hollow point construction ensures controlled expansion on impact, with optimal energy transfer without excessive deformation of the projectile.

Technical properties in practice

With a 5.5mm diameter and 23 grain weight, this slug is in the heavier segment for this caliber. The lead material guarantees uniformity in weight distribution, essential for repeatable accuracy. The hollow point projectile shape combines good penetration with effective energy transfer. Each pack contains 200 pieces, with H&N visually inspecting every projectile and packaging them with foam pads for optimal protection during transport.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These slugs are ideal for experienced PCP shooters who want to extend their range to 75-100 metres while maintaining precision. The projectile requires a powerful air pressure system from 40 joules, with 40-60 joules being optimal for the best results. Thanks to the hollow point design, this ammunition is also suitable for pest control, noting that the use of an air rifle for this purpose is legally regulated. In many cases, a permit or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users.
