Apolo Slug Airgun Pellets, 5.5mm.22 Caliber, 21 Grains, E19300,Silver

Good quality and heavy hitting, however can't be used out of just any old air rifle must be a high quality rifle or PCP.

Consistent, shot to shot. My Zelos Loves these. I set the reg to 2,100 PSI and it throws these at 920FPS with an extreme spread of 15FPS and a std dev of 4FPS over 30 shots.

First off, this may not be a fair review for the Apolo slugs. This is my first foray into slug shooting from my PCP rifles. They do shoot different from even the same weight pellets. They seem to be made for longer range shooting, say out to 100 yards or more, and are not as effected by the winds much as standard shaped pellets. I did get my Avenger .25 dialed in at 45 yards with them, and they are very effective on mid size pests like trash pandas and coyotes. You have to be careful with them though, as they will ricochet, and over penetrative, so keep in mind what's behind your target!

Most of the questions about this slug is not answered so I will try to answer it here . Will this slug work or fit in my gun ? This slug is 6.8 mm long compared to the crosman premier hp that is 6.5 mm long . If your clip will hold a 6.8 long slug then it will work in the clip . The most important info you need to know is , does your gun have enough power to push the pellet out of the barrel and not get stuck in the gun . This is just an example so you will have to enter your guns fps with a slug or pellet you use now . Most gun company's give you a fps with a pellet weight . For example 950 fps using a 14.5 grain pellet . If you want to know what the fps would be with a 21 grain slug you have to use this formula to make sure its safe to use before you load it in your gun . M1V1 = M2V2 Where: M1 = mass of the first pellet (14.5 grains) V1 = velocity of the first pellet (950 fps) M2 = mass of the second pellet (21 grains) V2 = velocity of the second pellet (unknown) Rearrange the formula to solve for V2: V2 = (M1/M2) * V1 Convert grain weights to grams 14.5 grains ≈ 1 gram 21 grains ≈ 1.3 grams Now, plug in the values: V2 = (1/1.3) * 950 fps V2 ≈ 0.769 * 950 fps V2 ≈ 730 fps So, approximately 730 fps for the 21-grain pellet . As long as your fps is above 300 fps with the 21 grain slug it will come out of the guns barrel . As far as accuracy ,it all depends on the rifling of the barrel . The only way to know for sure is to try the slugs in your gun if the fps is fast enough . The other question is can you hunt with is slug . For hunting you need to know the fpe needed to kill the animal .There is a chart on line that shows the fpe needed for small game . For example squirrels and rabbits you need 4.5 fpe ,raccoons 9 fpe red fox 10 fpe . If your guns fps is 700 fps with a 21 grain slug the fpe at the barrel is 22.84 fpe . At 50 yards its 13.26 fpe . So as long as you keep your shots 50 yards or less you can kill a red fox out to 50 yards away . A good program to download is chairgun to know your fpe at any distance out to 300 yards .

Theses are the best heavy slug pellets I’ve used. Perfect fit. Great knock down power. I use them for squirrels.

These slugs just do not "tune" well in FX Superior STX 700 mm barrel. The red arrow is pointing at 10 plus FX .22 cal 25.4 grain pellets at 16 yds at approximately 915 fps and the orange arrow is pointing at the intended POI where I shot 8 slugs and all were drifting up and to the left (since they did not group well I did not bother to adjust scope POI). The 1 yellow was before I reset my zero on my scope and was a pellet that I had already loaded (before changing the magazine to these slugs). Slugs were being shot at approximately 975 fps. Your mileage may vary but I cannot use these for pest control because they are too inaccurate for use in my situation.

The sound these thing make when they connect it unreal. My Hatsan Flash loves these things. Accuracy is great as well. At around 40yds I can send a couple of these through the same hole on a target The quality of these is not the greatest but, my Hatsan still eats them up

I love it. I have a Gamo Swarm Whisper. 22 and the pellets fit perfectly in the mag. They delivered high impact and accuracy. About the penetration I give 9.5 out of 10. These pellets are massive and can destroy hard targets like pots, skillets, steel cans, thicker plastic containers and thick glass bottles. You can buy it and have no regrets.
