Slugs Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 23 grain (.218)

Looking for slugs that combine a high ballistic coefficient with significant striking power? The Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 23 grain (.218) slugs were designed for that purpose. The design draws from practical field and range experience, complemented by ballistic measurements via Doppler radar — together delivering a reliable quality slug.

The forging process gives these projectiles uniform density and cohesion, high uniformity and a smooth finish. Combined with the tangent ogive (the bullet shape) and the tightly finished meplat (the flat front), you achieve a ballistic coefficient of 0.073. At long distances you'll notice minimal influence from external factors as a result, which greatly benefits accuracy.

The soft lead works together with the hollow point: upon impact the Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 23 grain (.218) deforms rapidly, resulting in an explosive impact. For long-range shooters a trusted choice.

What's new about the second generation Javelin slugs?

• The hollow point is carefully calculated in depth for each individual weight, improving weight distribution
• A carefully shaped hollow point delivers controlled expansion
• Tighter machine tolerances keep manufacturing consistent
• The rounder meplat improves aerodynamics
• A redesigned base provides more stability under turbulent conditions
