Zan .22 ELR 33gr HP Slugs

Engineered for Extreme Long Range Performance

The Zan .22 ELR Hollow Point Slugs have been developed specifically for shooters using high-powered PCP air rifles who require consistent performance at extended distances. Manufactured using a precision swaging process, each slug is produced to maintain uniform shape and density, helping reduce variation between shots and improving consistency across a full tin.

Weighing 33 grains, these slugs combine substantial sectional density with an aerodynamic profile intended to maintain stability as velocity decreases over distance. Their design focuses on reducing drag and maintaining retained energy throughout flight, making them suitable for precision target shooting where predictable ballistic performance is important.

Hollow Point Projectile Design

Unlike solid-nose variants, the ELR Hollow Point incorporates a hollow point cavity designed to encourage expansion on impact. This provides a different terminal behaviour while retaining the long-range characteristics expected from the ELR platform.

The projectile retains the streamlined profile required for stable flight while integrating a nose geometry intended for controlled energy transfer on impact.

High Ballistic Coefficient

A defining characteristic of the ELR design is its high ballistic coefficient. A higher BC helps the slug retain velocity more effectively, reducing the effects of drag and improving resistance to wind deflection during longer shots.

For shooters working at extended distances, this contributes to more predictable external ballistics and improved consistency when environmental conditions become more challenging.

Intended Velocity Range

According to the manufacturer, the .22 ELR Hollow Point performs best when fired from powerful PCP air rifles operating between approximately 850 and 1000 fps, allowing the projectile to achieve its intended aerodynamic performance.

Precision Manufacturing

Each slug is produced using ZAN Projectiles’ precision swaging process rather than conventional casting. This manufacturing method is intended to deliver consistent dimensions, weight distribution and density from one projectile to the next, helping minimise shot-to-shot variation.

Uniform projectiles are particularly important for long-range shooting where small inconsistencies can become increasingly significant as distance increases.
