Slug HP II | 6.35mm | 28gr | 120pcs | H&N

H&N Slug HP II 6.35mm 28gr – slug for PCP air rifle with hollow point

The H&N Slug HP II is a cylindrical slug in 6.35 mm / .25 with a weight of 28 grain and a pronounced hollow point. This type of air rifle ammunition performs best in a powerful PCP air rifle, as H&N specifies a recommended minimum energy of 40 Joules. At that energy level, the projectile has the velocity and stability required to make optimal use of the recommended shooting distance of around 50 metres. The hollow nose section ensures effective energy transfer upon impact, while the slimly tapered rear section allows the slug to cut through the air with stability.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, we find that this slug behaves calmly and predictably once your PCP system delivers sufficient energy. From 40 Joules onwards, the projectile stays accurately on course, and up to approximately 50 metres it maintains its shape and direction well. The ballistic coefficient of 0.096 contributes to this: it explains why the slug loses relatively little velocity and can therefore be placed with consistency. What we consistently notice is that the hollow point delivers a clear transfer of energy upon impact, making performance at that distance reliably consistent.

Technical characteristics in practice

The projectile has a caliber of 6.35 mm / .25 with a head diameter of 6.33 mm, a weight of 28 grain, and a length of 6.8 mm. The projectile material is lead, which ensures a good seal within the barrel and a stable distribution of energy. Each pack contains 120 pieces. The hollow point design translates into strong energy transfer, while the cylindrical slug shape combined with a BC of 0.096 contributes to aerodynamic performance over longer distances. It is worth testing different grain weights to see which groups most precisely in your specific barrel, and a chronograph will give you direct insight into the actual energy output so you can confirm you are above that 40 Joule threshold.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

This slug is best suited to shooters with a powerful PCP air rifle delivering at least 40 Joules, who favour precision at distances around 50 metres. As this is a hollow point with effective energy transfer, this projectile is also suitable for pest and rodent control. Please bear in mind that the use of an air rifle for this purpose is legally regulated: in many cases an exemption or hunting licence is required, and this is exclusively permitted for recognised pest controllers or certified users.
