The H&N Heavy Slug .25



Expanding the weight options of H&N .25 caliber slugs, the new slug is designed for long-range tough game and predator hunting with powerful airguns.

The new "Heavies" will be available in diameters of .2495 and .2505, the weight variants will be 38 grains, 40 grains, 42 grains, 44 grains and 46 grains.

The slugs will of course feature the new advanced hollow point ("T-Slot") design, which combines a large meplat and an optimized cavity. The T-Slot ensures reliable and controlled deformation - for a quick and humane kill.







Like all new H&N slugs, the Heavy Slug .25 was developed and tested in close cooperation with South African pro shooter, Airsmith and YouTuber Air Hunter Gerhard. In his latest epic video (shot in Utah), he shows us how these projectiles open up new possibilities for him when hunting with airguns.

But watch out: the video is especially not suitable for squirrel lovers.

That’s awesome,

When will they be on Pyramid Air?

With the current disruptions in the global supply chains and the challenges to get space in containers, I would cautiously estimate a delivery time of 5-6 months for the US and all other oversees customers, and 2-3 for Europe.

I have no words to express how much i would like to be able to shoot something like this ( .25 ) or i do, but there will be some strong words in among there as my feelings about not being allowed to do so run high.

PS: Just ordered 5 tins of the .177 16 grain slugs,,,,,, very much looking forward to those arriving, and they will next week, and next week seen very promising in regard to weather.

And it is as sure as AMEN in the church that i will be jumping on any 20 grain slugs i see for sale.

An hour ago I ordered some H&N .249 30gr and 34gr slugs. While looking forward to the new heavier slugs to try I have to repeat the question mentioned previously; “How long are these?”. What rifling twist rate are these intended for and what rifles have a twist too slow to stabilize these heavyweights? Please talk about what bbls. factory testing has intended these to be accurate in.

Thanks,

Tom

My apologies for not responding to the length questions immediately. I had to get the answer from our development department first. And it was already weekend in Germany...;-)

The lengths are (ascending by weight) 8.6 mm, 9.0 mm, 9.4 mm, 9.8 mm and 10.2 mm. However, the tolerance in length are bigger than the ones for the diameter, which is due to the manufacturing process.

Best regards

Jörg
