Slugs Javelin Gen 2 .217 Caliber 30 grain (5.5 mm)

These Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.217) slugs are swaged, not cast. This gives them great uniformity in shape and excellent consistency in density and thus balance. They have an extremely smooth finish, and in combination with the bullet shape (tangent ogive) and the neatly finished front (meplat), a ballistic coefficient of 0.094 is achieved. This makes the slugs less susceptible to external influences such as wind and delivers extremely accurate results.

To ensure the Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.217) slugs offer the greatest possible impact, they are made of soft lead and have a hollow point. Combined with the meplat, this ensures that the slugs expand rapidly upon impact with the target, causing a significant impact almost immediately.

The Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.217) slugs were developed in South Africa by experts in the field and on the shooting range, in combination with precise ballistic tests.

Improvements in the second generation of Javelin slugs:

• Reshaped hollow point for controlled expansion
• Hollow point depth calculated for optimal weight distribution
• Rounded Meplat for better aerodynamics
• Redesigned base for greater stability in turbulent conditions
• Consistent production through tighter machine tolerances
