H&N Slug HP II .218 Airgun Slugs (30 Grain / 200 Count)

The H&N Slug HP II (Hollow Point Generation 2) in .218 diameter represents a major ballistic leap forward from standard diabolo-shaped airgun pellets. Purpose-built for high-power Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, these premium slugs are engineered with a solid, aerodynamic bullet-like shape optimized for extreme accuracy and maximum energy retention at extended distances of 50, 100, or even 200 meters.  

The defining performance feature of the HP II series is its innovative two-stage "T-Slot" hollow point design. The upper portion of the cavity features a shallow angle designed to initiate rapid, immediate deformation upon target contact, while the acute angle of the lower cavity sustains the expansion. Combined with H&N's proprietary soft lead composition and a large meplat, this mechanism delivers massive downrange energy transfer and devastating expansion. Sized precisely at .218 to fit tighter barrel profiles and maximize compression, these heavy 30-grain projectiles feature an exceptionally high ballistic coefficient for a flat, wind-resistant trajectory. To ensure absolute consistency, every single slug is visually inspected and hand-packed with protective foam lining to arrive entirely defect-free.
