Honesty And Satisfaction Guaranteed
The H&N Slug HP 5.50 30Gr Pellets are engineered for airgun enthusiasts requiring consistent accuracy and energy at extended ranges. Designed primarily for FAC and high-power air rifles, these pellets suit shooters focused on precision target shooting and small game hunting. Their specialized construction ensures compatibility with various barrel profiles and power levels, making them a versatile choice for experienced airgun users.
Product Overview
These pellets feature a high ballistic coefficient (BC) that delivers a flatter trajectory and superior energy retention beyond 50 meters. The 30-grain slug design is coated with a proprietary lubricant to reduce barrel friction and wear, enhancing shot consistency and barrel life. Manufactured to tight tolerances, each pellet undergoes visual inspection and is hand-packed in a durable screw-on tin containing 200 pieces. Optimal performance is achieved in barrels with shorter twist rates specifically designed for slugs, with recommended muzzle energies between 40 and 60 Joules for best results. While a minimum muzzle energy of 25 Joules is required, this pellet is best suited for FAC or high-power air rifles.

Further Product Details
The H&N Slug HP pellets are well-suited for airgun users who require reliable slug ammunition capable of maintaining accuracy at longer distances. Their design is optimized for barrels with shorter twist rates, which are typically found on rifles specifically chambered for slugs. Using these pellets in rifles with insufficient twist rates may result in reduced accuracy. The lubricant coating helps minimize barrel fouling and wear, but routine barrel cleaning is recommended to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Each tin is securely packed with foam padding to protect the pellets during transport and storage, ensuring they arrive in excellent condition. Due to their power requirements, these pellets are recommended for FAC (Firearms Certificate) or similarly regulated high-power air rifles, and users should ensure compliance with local regulations regarding airgun power limits and ammunition. While H&N provides quality assurance through visual inspection and controlled packaging, customers should verify compatibility with their specific airgun model before purchase. No additional installation is required beyond loading into the appropriate air rifle magazine or breech.
