Slugs Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.218)

These Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.218) slugs are swaged and not cast. This gives them great uniformity in shape and very good consistency in density, and therefore balance. They have an extremely smooth finish and, in combination with the bullet shape (tangent ogive) and the neatly finished flat 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 that the Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.218) 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 as soon as they hit the target, creating a large impact almost immediately.

The Javelin Gen 2 5.5 mm 30 grain (.218) slugs were developed in South Africa by experts in the field and on the shooting range, combined 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 more stability in turbulent conditions
• Consistent production through tighter machine tolerances
