H&N .22 HP II Slugs: Precision .217 Caliber Ammunition

At Top Airguns, precision is paramount. The H&N .22 Air Rifle Slugs HP II are engineered for shooters who demand rifle-like accuracy from their PCP air rifles. This review covers the 30-grain, .217/5.51mm hollow point slugs, their design benefits, and the ideal platforms for their use.

What are H&N .22 HP II Slugs?
This is high-grade, .22 caliber (5.5mm) slug ammunition from the renowned German manufacturer H&N. The “HP II” denotes the second generation of their Hollow Point slug, refined for enhanced aerodynamics and expansion. With a precise diameter of .217″ (5.51mm) and a weight of 30 grains, it is designed to bridge the gap between traditional pellets and heavier slugs, offering a balance of speed, stability, and terminal effect.

Performance and Design Advantages
Our assessment focuses on the slug’s balanced performance profile:

• Optimized Weight: At 30 grains, it provides a significant increase in downrange energy over standard pellets while maintaining a manageable trajectory in many regulated PCP rifles.

• Hollow Point II Design: The advanced cavity is engineered for reliable, controlled expansion upon impact, making it highly effective for hunting small to medium game.

• Superior Consistency: H&N’s manufacturing guarantees exceptional dimensional uniformity, which translates directly into improved accuracy and tighter groupings.

• High Value Pack: Sold in a 200-count pack, it offers great value for serious practice and hunting.

Top Airguns Verdict: The Balanced Performer
The H&N .22 HP II 30gr slugs are an excellent upgrade for shooters looking to maximize their rifle’s potential. They are ideal for:

• Hunters using .22 PCP rifles for rabbits, raccoons, and other small game, where the hollow point design ensures clean, ethical takedowns.

• Accuracy-focused shooters who want to explore the benefits of slugs—like better long-range performance—without the extreme weight of heavier options.

• Owners of modern, slug-friendly PCP rifles with barrels that can stabilize the .217 diameter projectile.

Important Compatibility Note: Always verify that your air rifle’s barrel is suitable for .217 diameter slugs. Optimal performance requires adequate power (typically from a regulated rifle) and the correct twist rate for stabilization.
