ARG Slugs 5.5mm 20.1gr – heavy air rifle ammunition for PCP shooters

These ARG slugs are specially developed for powerful PCP air rifles that deliver a minimum power of 40 joules. With a weight of 20.1 grain and a hollow point design, these projectiles are ideal for shooters seeking precision at distances between 75 and 100 metres. The 5.5mm (.217) calibre ensures an optimal fit in air rifles specifically tuned for this diameter.

Our experience from the Shogun team

What makes these ARG slugs special is their cold pressing from soft lead. This production process results in a highly uniform shape and weight distribution, which is essential for consistent flight characteristics. At distances up to 100 metres, these slugs maintain their stability exceptionally well, especially when fired with sufficient energy. The hollow point ensures maximum energy transfer on impact, making this ammunition highly effective for pest control.

Technical properties in practice

With a calibre of 5.5mm and a weight of 20.1 grain, these slugs belong to the heavier category for this calibre. The hollow point pellet shape offers a dual advantage: it improves aerodynamics during flight and ensures optimal energy transfer. The soft lead adapts well to the barrel, contributing to accuracy. Each pack contains 100 pieces, sufficient to test various settings of your air rifle with a chronograph.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These slugs are designed for experienced PCP shooters who have tuned their air rifle to the .217 calibre. They are perfect for precision shooting at longer distances and for competition shooters who expect consistent performance. As a hollow point projectile, this ammunition is also highly suitable for pest control, but please note that the use of an air rifle for control is legally regulated. In many cases, an exemption or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised controllers or certified users.
