H&N Slug HP II – heavy air rifle ammunition for precision at medium ranges

The H&N Slug HP II is an advanced projectile for PCP air rifles with sufficient power. With its 5.5 mm calibre and 25 grain weight, this slug requires an air rifle with at least 40 Joules. The hollow point design ensures excellent energy transfer, making this ammunition suitable for precision shooting at distances up to 75-100 metres. The improved aerodynamics of this second-generation design provide a stable trajectory and energy retention over longer distances.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, the Slug HP II stands out for its consistent performance. The projectile maintains its stability exceptionally well thanks to its high ballistic coefficient, resulting in a flat trajectory. At 50 metres, this slug shoots extremely tight groups, while performance at 100 metres remains impressive for a .22 projectile. The hollow point construction contributes to predictable flight characteristics, even in changing weather conditions.

Technical features in practice

With a calibre of 5.5 mm (.217 inch) and a weight of 25 grain, this slug is in the heavier segment for .22 ammunition. The hollow point pellet shape not only provides excellent energy transfer but also optimises airflow around the projectile. You receive 200 pieces per package, with each projectile individually inspected and safely packed with foam pads. This careful handling guarantees consistent quality and performance.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

This slug is ideal for the experienced shooter with a powerful PCP air rifle seeking maximum precision at medium ranges. Thanks to the hollow point design, this ammunition is also suitable for pest control, where the excellent energy transfer ensures effective results. Please note: the use of an air rifle for control purposes is regulated by law. In many cases, a permit or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users. Testing different grains in your specific air rifle is worthwhile for optimal accuracy, with a chronograph being useful to gain insight into the actual energy output.
