Further Product Details
These H&N .218 25Gr HP slug pellets are ideal for airgun enthusiasts who demand precision and consistent performance in field or range settings. The slugs are best suited for use in high-powered PCP air rifles with barrels specifically designed to stabilize heavier, cylindrical projectiles. Due to their hollow point design, they deliver effective expansion on impact, making them a practical choice for humane pest control and small game hunting. Each tin contains 200 slugs, securely packaged to prevent deformation during transport and storage.
Before use, shooters should verify barrel compatibility and ensure their air rifle is capable of handling the increased weight and length of slug-type pellets for optimal accuracy. Regular cleaning of the barrel is recommended to maintain consistent performance and prevent lead fouling. In South Africa, users are advised to comply with all local regulations regarding the use and ownership of airgun ammunition. H&N’s reputation for quality is supported by rigorous manufacturing standards, and while a specific warranty may not be stated, customers can expect reliable product consistency. Always store pellets in a cool, dry place and handle with care to preserve their shape and performance characteristics.
