High-performance .22 caliber (5.5mm/.217-.218) air slugs in 30gr-35gr weights are designed for high-power PCPs to deliver superior long-range accuracy and energy transfer. Key options include ZAN Projectiles 35gr ELR (lubricated), H&N Heavy Slug 30gr/34gr (hollow point), and Griffin 35gr Match Slugs. New options like CCI High Bar 30gr provide high-precision, segmenting hollow-point performance.
Top .22 Caliber High-Bar/Heavy Slugs (30-35gr)
- ZAN Projectiles 35gr ELR Hyper Line: Known for advanced lubrication, superior BC, and high-velocity retention.
- H&N Slug HP Heavy (30gr – 34gr): Features a large meplat (flat tip) hollow point designed for maximum expansion and high-power airguns.
- Griffin 35gr .217″ Match: High-quality, often preferred for consistent, tight grouping at long range.
- CCI High Bar Air Gun Slugs (30gr): Available in segmented and traditional hollow point designs, emphasizing precision and consistent impact.
- AirMarksman (33gr/40gr): High-velocity, stable in various barrel types.
Performance Considerations
- Velocity & Power: These slugs work best in high-power PCP air rifles, with many designed to be shot at 900-1000+ FPS for optimal trajectory.
- Barrel Compatibility: Performance can vary by barrel; many 35gr slugs are optimized for .217 or .218 barrel liners.
- Accuracy: They are designed to outperform traditional pellets at long range (50+ yards) due to higher Ballistic Coefficients (BC).
