Slug HP | 5.5mm /.218 | 27gr | 200pcs | H&N

H&N Slug HP – heavy slug for high-powered PCP air rifles

The H&N Slug HP combines a heavy 27 grain projectile with a hollow point design in 5.5mm calibre. This type of ammunition is specifically developed for powerful PCP systems from 40 joules upwards, designed for accurate shooting at distances of 75 to 100 metres. The aerodynamic shape ensures stable flight, while the hollow point construction allows for effective energy transfer upon impact.

Our experience from the Shogun team

These slugs perform excellently in PCP air rifles with sufficient power to provide the 27 grain projectile with the required velocity. The favourable ballistic coefficient ensures a flat trajectory, which is essential for consistent hits at 75 to 100 metres. The projectile retains its energy well during flight, resulting in predictable performance even under varying weather conditions.

Technical features in practice

With a calibre of 5.5mm and a weight of 27 grains, this slug belongs to the heavier projectiles in its class. The lead material provides the necessary mass and density. The hollow point pellet shape combines good aerodynamics with effective energy transfer. Each pack contains 200 pieces, with every projectile manually checked for quality. For optimal performance, we recommend a barrel energy between 40 and 60 joules.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

This slug is ideal for experienced shooters with a powerful PCP system who seek precision at longer distances. Think of precision enthusiasts shooting at 75 to 100 metres or participants in benchrest competitions. Due 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, an exemption or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users.
