H&N Slug Precision .218 (5.53mm) 33gr Airgun Slugs – Tin of 50
The H&N Slug Precision features a bullet-form profile instead of the traditional diabolo pellet shape, offering a higher ballistic coefficient and improved performance at extended range. Designed for powerful PCP air rifles with muzzle energy exceeding 29.5 ft-lbs, these .218 (5.53mm) lead slugs weigh 33 grains and are accurate out to 100 metres and beyond.
The hollow-point cavity is precisely engineered to promote expansion and to position the centre of gravity for optimal in-flight stability, contributing to consistent accuracy at distance. This slug is positioned above H&N’s existing slug range, providing more reliable performance than earlier models.

I’ve used these slugs in my PCP rifle for several weeks now. The accuracy at 100 meters is noticeably better than previous slug types. The bullet shape stays stable in flight and hits consistently. Great for long-range shooting.

The packaging is secure and the slugs are easy to load. I noticed a clear improvement in grouping at medium to long range. Not as precise as a pellet, but much better than older slug models.
