H&N Precision Slug .22 - your new option for long-range shooting

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Good morning everyone,

The Precision Slug has been in production since the beginning of June and is being delivered to our customers worldwide. In the USA, Utah Airguns has had them in stock for some time, and Pyramyd Air will have them very soon as well. Unfortunately, the delivery time to the US is a little longer due to the transport across the Atlantic.

View attachment 471569At H&N we always strive to meet the needs of shooters in the world of airgun ammunition. With advances in airgun technology, we believe in always keeping pace with new, improved products in the shooting world.

With barrel and power improvements among airguns, we responded with the first Slug HP range. Over time with feedback from the hunters among you, we responded with the T-Slot Hollow Point for the H&N Slug HP II and the new H&N Heavy Slug range. This new improved T- Slot shape of the cavity, allows for quicker deformation when hitting a game's body and delivering the sufficient energy needed to take down your target with ease.

In the increasingly popular long range air rifle competitions, shooters take aim at steel and paper targets, and are looking for a slug which is precise and accurate even in difficult wind conditions. Knowing this we teamed up again with pro shooter Airhunter Gerhard and developed a new slug: the H&N Precision Slug.

The new H&N Precision Slug is even more reliably accurate than the other H&N Slugs, and with average B.C of 0.140 significantly less susceptible to wind and maintains a flatter trajectory.

What's the secret? Well in short it is the optimized shape of the ogive and the cavity that raises the BC factor. The latter is also deeper than on our first slugs, bringing the center of gravity to a perfect point for stable flight. Of course we have added some of our own trade secrets that we can’t discuss but what you surely will enjoy every time you hear the sweet sound of steeling ringing! Btw: that doesn't mean that you cannot use it for hunting!

Initially, the slug will only be offered in .22 caliber (.217 and .218) and only in the 33 grain weight version.

Production has started. Unfortunately, as always, airgunners overseas have to be a little more patient until the slugs are available in their country.

For an FX Impact with an 800mm slug liner, do you recommend the 0.217 or 0.218?

I just received 4 tins from Pyramyd Air.
They look like they have a different lube than the heavy slug.

Hopefully I will have a chance to shoot them this weekend.
