H&N Slug HP .22 Cal 5.51 mm Head 27 gr

The H&N Slug HP .22 Cal 5.51 mm Head 27 gr is a premium air gun slug engineered for hunters and precision shooters who demand maximum stopping power and consistent accuracy at extended ranges. Designed by Hatsan USA, a leader in high-performance air gun ammunition, these slugs deliver the ballistic performance required for small-to-medium game hunting and target shooting applications where energy transfer and trajectory stability are critical. Air gun slugs represent a significant step up from traditional pellets, offering superior penetration and kinetic energy for ethical, effective hunting.

Each slug weighs 27 grains and features a 5.51 mm head diameter, making it compatible with .22 caliber air rifles and PCP systems that accept larger projectiles. The HP (Hollow Point) design incorporates a cavity at the nose that promotes controlled expansion upon impact, maximizing energy transfer to the target while maintaining flight stability over distance. Hatsan's precision manufacturing ensures consistent weight and diameter across every round, reducing shot-to-shot velocity variation and group size, which translates to more reliable hits in the field or on the range. The slug's streamlined profile minimizes air resistance compared to traditional round pellets, delivering flatter trajectories and retained energy at longer ranges.

These slugs are ideal for shooters using .22 caliber PCP rifles, spring-piston air guns, and gas-ram systems capable of handling heavier projectiles. Users should verify that their specific air rifle is rated for slug use and that barrel twist and power levels are sufficient to stabilize the 27-grain projectile—most modern hunting-class air rifles in .22 cal meet these requirements. Whether you're taking rabbits, squirrels, or engaging in precision target work, the H&N Slug HP delivers the accuracy, energy, and reliability serious air gunners expect from a premium ammunition choice.
