The H&N Slug HP 218 5.5mm 27 grain pellets are engineered specifically for use in high-powered air rifles requiring slug-style ammunition. Designed to deliver consistent accuracy at extended ranges, these pellets are suitable for target shooting and hunting applications where precision and energy retention are critical. Available in a 200-count pack, they cater to shooters who demand reliable performance from their pellet guns.
Product Overview
Constructed with a bullet-shaped design, the H&N Slug HP 218 pellets differ from standard diabolo pellets by offering a streamlined profile that enhances ballistic efficiency. The 27 grain weight and .218 inch diameter optimize stability and velocity retention, enabling flat trajectories at distances up to 200 meters under appropriate rifle power. Manufactured by H&N, a reputable name in airgun ammunition, these pellets are made from high-quality lead alloy to ensure consistent density and weight uniformity. Their design is particularly suited to air rifles capable of propelling heavier projectiles with sufficient muzzle energy, making them a practical choice for precision shooting scenarios and medium-range hunting.

Further Product Details
These pellets are designed for air rifles with sufficient power to stabilize heavier slug-style projectiles, typically spring-piston, PCP, or pre-charged pneumatic rifles optimized for 5.5mm ammunition. The bullet-shaped design reduces drag, improving downrange accuracy and energy delivery compared to traditional diabolo pellets. Shooters should verify barrel compatibility and rifle power to ensure optimal performance and safety. Proper maintenance of the rifle’s barrel, including regular cleaning, will help maintain pellet consistency and accuracy over time.
H&N provides these pellets without additional accessories or packaging beyond the 200-count container. Users should comply with local regulations regarding airgun ammunition possession and use. While H&N is known for quality control, customers are advised to inspect pellets for deformities before use. Warranty coverage typically applies to manufacturing defects, with specific terms available through the manufacturer or authorized dealers.
