Vesta Defence Steel Core .50 pellets - 91 grains round pellets 200 pcs

Vesta Defence Steel Core Ammo – heavy ammunition for powerful PCP systems

This Steel Core ammunition from Vesta Defence has been developed for shooters who want to get the most out of their PDW50. With a calibre of 12.7mm / .50 and a weight of 91 grains, this projectile belongs to the heaviest category of air rifle ammunition. The unique hybrid construction consists of a steel core encased in high-quality polymer, providing exceptional kinetic energy. The round ball shape delivers predictable ballistics and consistent performance, especially suitable for PCP systems from 300 joules for long-range shooting.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, this Steel Core ammunition proves to perform particularly consistently. The combination of the steel core with the polymer outer layer ensures a stable flight, even in windy conditions. The hybrid design also protects your barrel against excessive wear, while the steel core ensures maximum energy transfer on impact. During tests with powerful PCP systems, this projectile demonstrated excellent grouping at long distances, where the heavy mass shows its advantage.

Technical properties in practice

The polymer/metal hybrid design combines the hardness of steel for maximum penetration with the softness of polymer for barrel protection. The round ball shape minimises air resistance and maximises the ballistic coefficient for stable trajectories. With 200 pieces per package, you have enough ammunition for extensive shooting sessions. Testing different energy levels with a chronograph gives you insight into the optimal performance of this heavy projectile in your specific air rifle.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These Steel Core round balls are designed for experienced shooters with powerful PDW50 pistols and other PCP systems delivering at least 300 joules. The heavy construction makes them ideal for precision pellets where wind resistance is crucial. The reusable properties – after cleaning – also make them interesting for shooters who train frequently and are looking for cost-efficient ammunition for their powerful PCP air rifle.
