Slug HP Heavy | .25 | 6.35mm | 100pcs | 40gr | H&N

H&N Slug HP Heavy .25 – heavy hollow point slug for PCP systems

The H&N Heavy Slug is a cylindrical hollow point in 6.35 mm / .25 with a weight of 40 grain, designed for shooters who want to get the most out of their PCP air rifle. This projectile is made for powerful systems delivering at least 40 joules and performs best at distances around 75 metres. The combination of mass, nose geometry, and ballistic coefficient makes this a typical slug for PCP air rifles aimed at precision at longer distances.

Our experience from the Shogun team

During our test sessions, what stood out most was how stably this slug travels through the air once there is sufficient energy behind it. From approximately 40 joules, the projectile begins to stabilise its flight effectively, and towards 75 metres the grouping remains tight when the barrel has a suitable twist rate. The hollow point nose ensures a clear energy transfer on impact, while the cylindrical shape helps keep the trajectory predictable under varying wind conditions.

Technical specifications in practice

With a caliber of 6.35 mm / .25, a head diameter of 6.33 mm, and a weight of 40 grain, this projectile falls within the heavier category of its class. The hollow point nose geometry ensures targeted energy transfer, while the length of 9.0 mm and the material lead contribute to a favourable ballistic coefficient of 0.120. The packaging contains 100 pellets, more than sufficient to test various distances and settings. Since performance can vary per setup, it is worthwhile to test other grain weights alongside this slug; a chronograph provides valuable insight into the actual energy output and helps with fine-tuning your air rifle.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

This slug is intended for shooters with a PCP system delivering at least 40 joules who are specifically training at longer distances of up to approximately 75 metres. Precision enthusiasts looking to challenge their setup on a range will find a reliable companion in this slug. As this is a hollow point with strong energy transfer, this projectile is also used in practice for pest and rodent control. The use of an air rifle for this purpose is legally regulated in the Netherlands: in many cases, an exemption or hunting licence is required and it is only permitted for certified controllers or authorised users.
