AEA Long Range Master – heavy slug for powerful PCP systems

The AEA Long Range Master is a heavy projectile specifically developed for powerful PCP air rifles. With a weight of 240 grains and a calibre of 12.58mm (.495), this hollow point slug provides the stability required for precision long-range shooting. These slugs require a PCP system with sufficient joules to fully utilise their potential, with the heavy mass ensuring excellent wind resistance and a stable trajectory.

Our experience from the Shogun team

When testing these AEA slugs, the impressive flight stability was immediately noticeable. The combination of the heavy weight and the aerodynamic hollow point design resulted in consistent long-range performance. We found that these slugs perform best in powerful PCP systems from 300 joules upwards, where they can convert their mass into a stable, predictable trajectory. Wind sensitivity proved to be noticeably lower than with lighter projectiles, which is a clear advantage at longer distances. Testing different grain weights with a chronograph provided insight into the optimal energy output for maximum precision.

Technical features in practice

The weight of 240 grains makes this slug one of the heaviest in the 12.58mm (.495) segment. This substantial weight, combined with the hollow point design, ensures optimal energy transfer on impact. The larger diameter of the projectile means more air resistance, but this is more than compensated for by the mass, which ensures energy retention over longer distances. With 40 pieces per pack, you have enough ammunition for extensive shooting sessions. The hollow point design offers good energy transfer, making this slug suitable for long-range pest control.

Who is this air rifle slug suitable for?

These AEA Long Range Master slugs are particularly suitable for experienced PCP shooters who are serious about long-range shooting. You need a powerful PCP system that can deliver sufficient joules to give these heavy projectiles the right velocity. Ideal for shooters seeking maximum precision and impact at long distances where conventional diabolo pellets reach their limits. If you have an air rifle specifically built for heavy slugs and want to get the most out of your setup, these 240 grain projectiles are an excellent choice. Thanks to the hollow point design, this slug is also suitable for rat control, but please note that the use of an air rifle is legally regulated. In many cases, a permit or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised pest controllers or certified users.
