ZAN slug 5.5mm/.217

20 grain slugs
Slugs in this weight category are fully designed for low power air rifles and for air rifles under 12ftlb. They benefit from less deflection from the wind due to a higher ballistic coefficient and better performance due to the unique hollow point design.

23 / 25.5 grain slugs
Slugs in this weight category are designed and intended for either lower powered rifles or for shorter range shooting where long range is not the goal. Slugs in this weight category are ideally suited where rifle performance is limited or where shorter range shooting is the goal.

Still, with a ballistic coefficient (BC) close to twice that of most airgun bullets, they are a better choice due to their superior external ballistics and terminal performance compared to other slugs.

These slugs have been manufactured and tested to perform in the 600 - 1000 fps velocity range and with a ballistic coefficient of 0.070 - 0.090 (depending on the slug selected, velocity and environmental conditions) they are a great lower power slug for hunting at shorter ranges where maximum penetration is not required, but maximum rapid expansion and uniform fragmentation is.

28 / 30,5 / 33 grain slugs
Slugs in this weight range are more suited for medium and higher power rifles. Ideally suited for medium-long range shooting, these slugs have been designed to have a slightly smaller explosive expansion on impact, but to have a slightly slower and controlled expansion on impact, which is best suited for smaller and medium targets. This provides slightly deeper penetration with slightly slower controlled expansion, essentially maximizing penetration and expansion at the same time.

These bullets have been manufactured and tested to perform in the 800fps - 1050fps range and with a ballistic coefficient of 0.102 - 0.128 (depending on bullet selected, velocity and environmental conditions) they make a great long range hunting and target shooting bullet.

36 / 40 grain slugs
These slugs are designed and engineered for higher powered air guns with superior ballistics in mind and have unmatched ballistic performance. Whether you are a serious competitive shooter or a long range hunter, these slugs are the slugs for you!
Due to the greater cross-sectional density, these bullets also have a very high ballistic coefficient which helps reduce aerodynamic drag and minimize wind deflection, which also helps maximize terminal performance for long range hunting.

These bullets were designed for high power air rifles at velocities between 850 - 1000 fps and with ballistic coefficients ranging from 0.130 - 0.140 (depending on the bullet selected, velocity and environmental conditions) they represent the ultimate in long range performance. Due to their construction and design, these slugs have a slightly lower expansion but provide better and deeper penetration of larger material where slightly slower controlled expansion but deeper penetration is required.
