FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

The pellet has provided accuracy and efficiency; the staple projectile of choice of airguns for the last century… until now. Introducing the latest innovation from FX Airguns: FX Halo Ammunition. The replacement for the airgun pellet.

FX Halos share the best characteristics of the pellet (high accuracy, low working pressures needed to shoot at optimum speeds) but with nearly double the ballistic coefficient making them more accurate than pellets.

The FX Halo was conceived in the mind of Fredrik Axelsson. He knew that the pellet was going to quickly fade in relevance. Modern PCP Airguns simply don’t need the parachute/shuttlecock shape of the pellet to achieve accuracy anymore. The pellet design also limits the ability to shoot at further distances with an airgun, and shooters desire to stretch their rifles out to further distances with extreme precision.

Fredrik perfected the FX Halo with the help of the famed FX South African R&D team (Matt Dubber, Hein Fromann, Roelf Vorster) as well as renowned tooling engineer and die manufacturer Kenith Almeida. The combination of these minds working together has created an airgun ammunition that will replace pellets and give an easy ammunition for air rifles to shoot accurately. Perfect for the shooter that wants the performance of slugs but at pellet settings and tuning.

Halos will come in the standard weights of the most popular pellets for each caliber. They shoot at more or less the same speeds to match the velocity and efficiency of rifles tuned for common pellets, but with a much higher BC. This creates extreme stability in flight to provide enhanced accuracy.

Expect that the FX Halo Ammunition will replace your pellets as the common round used for everything from pest control, small game hunting, target shooting, and backyard plinking. The future of airgun ammo is FX Halo Ammunition. FX Halos are coming soon. More details to follow.

“Expect that the FX Halo Ammunition will replace your pellets as the common round used for everything from pest control, small game hunting, target shooting, and backyard plinking….”

I believe that may happen eventually (not just Halo, but slugs in general) for most everything over .177 and beyond 50 or 60yds. Currently, “slugs” are not allowed in some of the competitive target shooting that I do, so until that changes, I’m basically forced to keep using projectiles with inferior ballistics.

I feel for you @Scotchmo
Or should I say my guns feel for you?
According to the rules of the house here the guns are required to be handled by a shooter with inferior ability
Just sayin’

The guy who started this topic has definitely been FIRED by now.

Yeah, the world over people like to shoot the messenger.
Even in Sweden....



🔸 Maybe there is more to the story....
In my great desire to see the Halo to come out — it is the perfect projectile I have been searching for, it seems —
I easily forget how recently someone greedy and dishonest screwed over FX's operations in the US big time.


➠ And that kind of stuff can slow down promising projects.
And therefore, it is not just FX — but we airgunners have been screwed over by greed and dishonesty!! 😡


➠ I make it a point to live and work by a different set of principles (rather ancient, 2000y old) — whether it's airgunning, my job, or my personal relationships.

I hope many of you at AGN are on the same track.


Cheers from Peru, 👋🏻

JungleShooter, I have changed and deleted many bitter posts, which I am sure nobody but me cared about, but you know what, if that is the flavor of the truth, throwing sugar on it, or throwing it out, doesn't help anything either. Everybody has a moment or a bad day and if people can't handle the good with the bad, well, don't worry about those people (see, I just edited myself). Being accurate and honest is orders of magnitude more important than being nice when it comes to getting, or giving out, information on a website where people are looking for exactly that.
 
I have never made a post anywhere i regretted making, but i have made posts where upon seeing them again i will think " Okay so that was one of my worse days "
But when almost every day is a bad one, well i think it is alright.
I also know many people have thin skin and are not able to handle some things, so in that case i urge you to just PM me, and i will take care of it, CUZ while it might seem so some times, i am not out to get anyone.
But i am a strait talker and shooter, and manners is something i have taught myself, more or less successful.

At this stage with the Halos, i am thinking we are at least allowed to make fun with it.
