AEA Slugs

AEA Long Range Master Airgun Slugs

Discover the range of AEA Long Range Master airgun slugs at Rifleworks, designed for shooters looking for precision ammunition for powerful PCP air rifles and long-range airgun shooting.

AEA Long Range Master slugs use a streamlined projectile-style profile rather than the traditional waisted shape of a diabolo pellet. When correctly matched to your rifle and barrel, airgun slugs can provide excellent aerodynamic performance, stability and retained energy over longer distances.

AEA .22 / 5.5mm Airgun Slugs

Our AEA slug range includes 5.5mm / .22 calibre hollow-point airgun slugs in several weights, allowing shooters to test different combinations of projectile weight and velocity.

AEA Long Range Master .22 slug weights include:

• 25.4 grain – a medium-weight .22 slug offering a useful balance between velocity and retained energy.
• 30.9 grain – a heavier option suited to powerful PCP air rifles and longer-range shooting.
• 38.6 grain – a heavyweight .22 slug designed primarily for high-powered PCP rifles capable of efficiently driving heavier projectiles.

The best weight will depend on your individual rifle, barrel, power level and preferred shooting distance.

Why Choose Airgun Slugs?

Traditional diabolo pellets remain an excellent choice for many air rifles, but slugs are increasingly popular with shooters looking for improved performance at extended ranges.

The streamlined shape of an airgun slug can offer:

• Improved aerodynamic efficiency
• Good downrange velocity retention
• High retained energy
• Reduced susceptibility to wind compared with some lighter projectiles
• Excellent long-range accuracy when correctly matched to the barrel

Slug performance varies significantly between rifles, so testing different weights and velocities is important when finding the most accurate combination.

Hollow Point PCP Slugs

AEA Long Range Master slugs feature a hollow-point design combined with an aerodynamic projectile profile.

They are primarily intended for slug-compatible PCP air rifles, particularly rifles capable of producing the velocity required to stabilise heavier projectiles effectively.

Choosing the Right AEA Slug

Choosing the best slug is not simply a matter of selecting the heaviest projectile.

Factors including slug weight, diameter, barrel type, twist rate, velocity and rifle power can all influence accuracy.

For the best results, test several slug weights at different velocities and compare groups at the distances at which you normally shoot. A chronograph is extremely useful when setting up a PCP rifle for slug ammunition.

Always operate your air rifle within the manufacturer's specifications and applicable UK legal requirements.
