H&N Slug HP Sampler, .218 Cal., 5 Types

Being able to try different slugs without having to buy a whole lot.

The packaging the slugs do not want to stay in the tubes.

Just enough to test what your gun likes.

Packaging tubes were broken on arrival. Had to sort sizes.

21gr and 23 gr grouped around 1in @ 50yds in my puncher breaker. Definitely hit harder than pellets.

Fast shipping and delivery, great product but none of my rifles likes them. Unfortunately only .217. The Fx m3 shoots them ok but need to push them pretty fast, like over 1020fps just to be around 2 inches at 50 yards. This is with heavy slugs liner and slug kit. Maybe another gun but not mine. Thanks for the fast shipping.

N/A.

Try them. They might work on your rifle.

Nothing

Perhaps they need to be .219 diameter?

These slugs were not accurate at all in my Benjamin Marauder. None of the weights were accurate. Best group at 50 yds was 1.5".

I have an FX Crown .22, using a slug A liner to test this sampler pack. The .218's were more accurate than the .217's as a general rule out of my rifle: your rifle may prove to be just the opposite.... that's the way air guns are.... strange but true. So I would suggest trying both sampler packs. My Crown liked the 23 grain the best, followed closely by the 27 grain.... the 21, 25, and 30 grains did not do very well. I like how smoothly they load and every slug, no matter the weight, cycled flawlessly..... awesome!

They worked perfectly in my gun so I have no need for any changes.

Two things. Firstly, when you do buy a tin of your favourite (favorite if you are in Canada) slug, you will find that the slugs are a dark bluish colour (this is normal and everything is A-OKAY, so carry on), and they are somewhat slippery because of a coating of oil (I think it's oil?).... this too is normal and is a great bonus for us buyers because it will keep our barrels clean and help a lot with accuracy. Secondly, there are flakes of lead on the slugs that need to be removed before loading them into your gun.... I simply dump out all 200 slugs and one-by-one use my fingers to remove the flakes, just wiping my fingers that now have the flakes on them, onto my jeans.... sounds archaic but it is fast and simple. Anyways do not wash them because you may remove the oil along with the flakes. Sounds like a lot of work, I know, but the results are well worth one's time! Oh, and check every slug for flaws.... I average about 10 slugs per tin that I discard. That's normal too!

I like the 218s in the H & N h.p. .22 slugs especially the 23.00 gr. which has the cluster grouping, which is tight along with the 30 gr. but had tested all in my Seneca Eagle Claw at full charge & power avg. 1027 F.P.S. E.S. of 7 & standard deviation of 2 for 6 shots @ the chrony! but again, the 23.00 gr. is the best ! I may test it again next time on my other pcps!

Nothing, my only gripe are slugs drop of on my mag often if you forgot to put a finger on the opposite side!

These are nicely made slugs, but I wonder, why it has a slightly lower B.C.s compared to other slugs, but thats okay!

The H & N .22 slug in 218, has been consistent in my BSA, fits best in the mag & flash fit on the breech as compared to the other one, with the 23 gr. surprisingly with a higher B.C. in 38 FPE@ an AVG. of 819 F.P.S. on a five shot string! nice grouping was the 30 gr with the 27gr. a close second !

I think H & N has the nicest slugs in production with the affordable sampler, but the only thing that it lacks is the maximum expansion of their slugs! a bit hard to expand maybe due to its composition!

These are nice slugs for hunting as you can choose different weights on any applicable velocity & range on your pcp!

The best thing about sampler packs are that they save a lot of your money, truth is a majority of you guns won't shoot slugs well.

Include a list of models expected to shoot them well.

Buy these slug sampler packs, they will save you a lot of money.

I like the product.

The packaging that the ammunition came in was damaged and the product was loose in the shipping box. New packaging would help to secure the product.

Loved being able to try different size slugs

My Marauder didn't like shooting slugs

Maybe slugs better suited for higher caliber
