Haendler & Natermann is one of the traditional German manufacturers of airgun ammunition. The H&N brand has long been associated with accuracy, high-quality workmanship and good value for money, making it a popular choice for both recreational and more experienced shooters.
Slug HP II with hollow point
H&N Slug HP II are lead slugs with a hollow point, which differ significantly from standard pellets by their shape, close to a bullet-style projectile. They are designed for high-power air rifles that can accurately stabilise this type of ammunition when shooting at longer distances.
Compared to classic pellets, they offer a very favourable ballistic coefficient, which supports a flatter trajectory and excellent energy retention in flight. This makes them suitable for shooters who want to get the maximum out of a powerful PCP air rifle.
The HP II variant follows on from the Slug HP series, but brings a modified design for even better performance when shot from high-power air rifles. The focus is on consistent groupings and efficient energy transfer on target. Each slug is lubricated, visually inspected, hand-packed and secured with foam inserts by the manufacturer for protection during transport.
The slugs are suitable only for air rifles with a barrel designed for this type of ammunition, typically with a non-choked barrel. A choked barrel, which is beneficial for classic pellets, tapers at the muzzle and may not be suitable for solid slugs.
