Slug HP Heavy | .25 | 6.35 | 100pcs | 46gr | H&N

H&N Slug HP Heavy .25 – heavy hollow point slug for long distances

The H&N Heavy Slug is a cylindrical slug for PCP air rifle in caliber 6.35 mm / .25 with a weight of 46 grain and a pronounced hollow point design. The combination of mass, length, and hollow point makes this projectile perform optimally in more powerful PCP systems delivering a minimum of 40 joules. The manufacturer recommends an optimal shooting distance of around 50 metres, at which point the projectile transfers its energy efficiently to the target.

Our experience from the Shogun team

During our test sessions, the stable flight behaviour stood out particularly once sufficient energy is behind it. The ballistic coefficient of 0.133 ensures a consistent trajectory at distances of around 50 metres, provided the PCP system delivers sufficient power. We noticed that the slug groups well when the barrel and twist rate are matched to slugs; with some air rifles it is worth shooting a few series first to see how it performs within your specific setup.

Technical specifications in practice

With a caliber of 6.35 mm / .25, a weight of 46 grain, and a length of 10.2 mm, this is a relatively heavy projectile within this caliber. Lead as the projectile material provides the desired deformability on impact, while the hollow point design contributes to strong energy transfer. The packaging contains 100 rounds, sufficient for an extensive test session. Because heavier slugs are more sensitive to variations in energy output, testing different grain weights and using a chronograph is valuable for mapping the actual joules and grouping performance of your setup.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

This slug is intended for shooters with a PCP air rifle delivering a minimum of 40 joules who enjoy shooting at longer distances of around 50 metres with a focus on energy transfer and precision. Due to the hollow point design with massive expansion, this projectile is also suitable for rat and pest control. Please be aware that the use of an air rifle for pest control in the Netherlands is regulated by law: this is generally only permitted for certified pest controllers or authorised users holding the appropriate exemption or hunting licence.
