Slugs Nielsen 5.5 mm HPFB 23 grain (.217)

For those shooting with a heavy 5.5 mm air rifle, the Nielsen 5.5 mm 23 grain (.217) slugs are a logical option. The soft lead they are made of is cold pressed, a process that ensures the slugs are virtually identical to each other and thus provides great accuracy. Because the lead is soft and the tip is hollow, the slugs expand quickly upon impact.

Unlike pellets, these dish base slugs have more mass and a more favorable aerodynamic profile. At longer distances, this translates into noticeably better performance, with a ballistic coefficient of 0.080. Suitable for use in very powerful 5.5 mm air rifles — for longer shots a welcome choice.

Please note: do not use these slugs in FX Smooth Twist barrels; however, they can be used in combination with the FX Smooth Twist X slug liner.
