Slugs FX Hybrid MKII 6.35 mm 26.3 grain (.250)

The FX Hybrid MKII 6.35 mm 26.3 grain slugs combine the strongest properties of two projectile types in one design.

Traditional diabolo pellets seal well to the rifling and lands of a barrel and have minimal friction due to their small contact surface. The disadvantage lies in their low ballistic coefficient: they lose speed quickly and are susceptible to wind. Slugs solve that problem — their high ballistic coefficient provides much better velocity retention. On the downside, their greater weight and larger contact surface cause significantly more friction, requiring considerably more power to shoot them.

With the external dimensions of a slug and thus a high ballistic coefficient, but completely hollow inside and featuring a hollowed-out base, the FX Hybrid MKII 6.35 mm 26.3 grain slugs are remarkably light. The contact surface offers a good balance between sealing and friction. As a result, they fly a flatter trajectory than regular pellets, are less susceptible to wind, and retain more energy at distance. The hollow point also provides strong expansion on target — a common choice for shooters taking longer-range shots.

An important practical advantage: the FX Hybrid MKII 6.35 mm 26.3 grain slugs can be used in any pneumatic rifle, without requiring a particularly powerful system or a special slug liner.
