H&N SLUGS 218 30GR 5.53MM/.22CAL-HP
Elevate your long-range airgun performance with the H&N Slug HP—the precision-engineered slug that transforms every shot into a guaranteed hit. Crafted with a sleek, boat-tail bullet shape, this pellet outperforms traditional round-nose pellets by offering superior aerodynamics and unwavering accuracy out to 200 meters. Whether you’re stalking foxes at dawn or dominating steel-plate matches at dusk, the Slug HP’s outstanding ballistic coefficient (BC 0.106) delivers a flatter trajectory and exceptional energy retention from first light to last shot.
Each Slug HP is meticulously inspected under high-power optics and hand-packed into foam-lined tins to ensure zero blemishes and damage during transit. Available in the versatile .22 cal (.218″) diameter with multiple weight options, these slugs adapt to a wide range of barrel profiles and power levels—guaranteeing perfect harmony between your rifle and ammunition. Ideal muzzle energy starts at 25 joules, but you’ll unlock their full potential at 40–60 joules for heavier-hitting performance on medium game, varmints, and upland birds alike.
Whether you’re pursuing raccoon in timbered edges or punching out prairie dogs across open plains, the Slug HP offers consistent grouping, deep penetration, and the reliability you demand from premium ammunition. Trust H&N’s legacy of innovation and quality—step up to a slug that goes the distance.
