RPS Slug .455 / 11.4mm 223 grain – for extreme long-range precision

This 223 grain slug from RPS in .455 / 11.4mm has been developed for the most powerful PCP air rifles with an energy output starting from 300 Joules. The lead projectile offers maximum mass for stable flight over long distances, allowing the slug to retain its energy across greater ranges. Due to its weight and calibre, this ammunition is specifically suited for powerful PCP systems that can deliver sufficient air pressure to effectively launch the slug.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, this RPS slug proves its value at distances where lighter ammunition loses stability. The heavy 223 grain projectile has excellent sectional density, resulting in reduced wind sensitivity and a flatter trajectory. In PCP systems with sufficient power, this slug maintains its velocity and energy better than traditional pellets, especially beyond 100 metres where its aerodynamic properties truly come into their own.

Technical properties in practice

With a calibre of .455 / 11.4mm and a weight of 223 grain, this slug belongs to the heaviest segment of air rifle ammunition. The projectile is made from lead, ensuring optimal mass distribution and deformability upon impact. The packaging contains 100 pieces, sufficient for extensive shooting sessions. The slug design offers a better ballistic coefficient than pellets, resulting in higher retained velocity and less energy loss over distance.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

This slug is intended for experienced shooters with powerful PCP systems from 300 Joules upwards who seek maximum long-range performance. Think of precision shooters aiming to shoot at 150 metres and beyond with consistent results. Testing different seating depths and air pressures is recommended to find the optimal combination for your specific air rifle. A chronograph is helpful to accurately monitor velocity and energy output and determine the best setting.
