Airgun Slugs

The Next Evolution in Airgun Ammunition

For the owner of a high-power PCP air rifle, airgun slugs represent a quantum leap in performance over traditional pellets. Shaped like a classic bullet, slugs are designed to be gyroscopically stabilized by the rifling in your barrel. This fundamental difference results in a significantly higher Ballistic Coefficient (BC), which is the key to unlocking superior downrange performance.

The Slug Advantage: Power and Precision at a Distance

Why choose slugs? For a powerful PCP rifle, the benefits are undeniable:

• Superior Energy Retention: Thanks to their higher BC, slugs retain their velocity and energy far more efficiently than pellets. This translates to a flatter trajectory and much greater impact power at extended ranges.
• Improved Wind Resistance: The aerodynamic shape makes slugs less susceptible to wind drift, a critical factor in making ethical and accurate long-range shots.
• Devastating Terminal Performance: The combination of weight and velocity allows slugs, especially hollow-point designs, to expand upon impact, delivering maximum energy transfer for effective and humane hunting.

Choosing the Right Slug for Your Rifle

Not all slugs are created equal. Finding the perfect match for your specific rifle barrel and power level is key to achieving the best accuracy. We offer a wide variety of slugs in all popular calibers, from .22 and .25 for small game to hard-hitting .30, .357, and even .45 caliber big bore slugs for larger game. Consider the weight and design—a heavier slug will carry more energy, while different nose and base designs (like hollow points or dish bases) will affect expansion and stability.

Find What Your Barrel Likes: The Importance of Testing

Every rifle barrel is unique and may show a preference for a specific brand, weight, or diameter of slug. The only way to know for sure what your rifle shoots best is to test. That's why we offer tester packs, which contain a variety of different slug weights within a single caliber. This is the most cost-effective way to experiment and discover the exact slug that will deliver tack-driving accuracy from your setup.
