AEA Slugs Long Range Master HP .22 38.6gr

Description

AEA Slugs Long Range Master Hollow Point .22 Caliber 38.6 Grain

Why the AEA Long Range Master HP Stands Out

Technical Specifications

• Caliber: .22 / 5.5mm
• Weight: 38.6 grains (2.50 grams)
• Design: Hollow Point (HP)
• Profile: Optimized boat-tail design for superior ballistic coefficient
• Application: Long-range precision shooting and hunting

Engineering Excellence

Through extensive testing at our facility, I’ve observed that the 38.6-grain weight provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and energy transfer. The hollow point design isn’t just for expansion—it also helps stabilize the slug in flight by moving the center of gravity forward, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy beyond 75 yards.

The boat-tail base reduces drag significantly compared to flat-base slugs, giving you a flatter trajectory and less wind drift. In my testing with various PCP rifles, these slugs consistently delivered sub-MOA groups at 50 yards when paired with properly tuned airguns.

Real-World Performance – My Experience

Having shot thousands of rounds through platforms like the FX Impact, Brocock Commander, Airmaks Arms Krait and AEA HP Max, I’ve found these slugs excel in:

• Long-Range Accuracy: Exceptional groupings at 100+ yards
• Energy Retention: The 38.6gr weight maintains downrange energy effectively
• Consistent BC: Predictable flight characteristics for reliable holdovers
• Versatility: Performs well across various barrel twist rates (1:16 to 1:18)

Optimal Applications

✓ Long-range target shooting (100-150 yards)
✓ Small to medium game hunting
✓ Field Target competitions
✓ Precision pest control

Technical Recommendations from BinTac

Recommended Muzzle Velocity: 850-950 fps for optimal accuracy
Minimum Energy: Works best in airguns producing 50+ ft-lbs
Barrel Requirements: Prefer rifled barrels with 1:16 or 1:18 twist rates
Optimal Engagement Range: 50-150 yards

Pro Tip from the Workshop:

These heavier slugs require proper rifle tuning. I recommend starting your regulator pressure around 140-150 bar and adjusting in 5-bar increments while chronographing to find your rifle’s sweet spot. The goal is consistent velocity with minimal extreme spread (ES under 15 fps).

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these work in my .22 airgun?
These slugs require a rifle capable of pushing the 38.6gr weight to at least 850 fps. Verify your airgun produces minimum 50 ft-lbs of energy.

How do these compare to pellets?
Slugs offer superior ballistic coefficients and energy retention at long range, but require proper barrel twist rates and higher velocities than traditional pellets.

What’s the effective range?
In properly tuned rifles, these slugs remain highly accurate to 150 yards, with ethical hunting capability to 100 yards on appropriate game.
