Frequently asked questions

AVS slugs are made from 99.9% pure lead for high expansion on game. They have a higher ballistic coefficient than diabolo pellets, so they shoot farther with a flatter trajectory and keep more velocity and energy downrange. They were originally developed for long-range shooting in high winds.

We can't guarantee they'll work in every gun — check with your airgun's manufacturer or test them yourself. Groove diameters vary between barrels, which is why we offer several diameters per caliber. Results we've seen:

• .3063 — AGT Vulcan 3 and Lothar Walther barrels
• .217 — ATI Nova Liberty, Daystate Red Wolf, FX Impact
• .2523 & .254 — Kalibrgun Cricket, Kral Puncher Jumbo
• .2513 — AirMaks Arms Katran
• Customers also report good results in the Umarex Gauntlet.

Ideal power ranges are 30–60 ft-lbs for .22 caliber and 50–80 ft-lbs for .25 caliber.

Heavier slugs are longer. Please check slug length against your magazine or breech before ordering — see the Slug Guide for more.

• Flat base — longer, heavier slugs in very high-power guns with the right twist rate.
• Cup base — moderate to high-power PCPs with shorter, lighter slugs.
• Dish base — high-power PCPs; can work at moderate power with a faster twist.
• Dimple boat tail — generally needs a faster twist rate to stabilize.
• Hollow base — we haven't had good results and can't confirm it works well.

No. AVS only makes airgun slugs, and they will not work in firearms.

A flat $9.75 no matter how many packs you order. Single packs ship in bubble envelopes; larger orders ship USPS Ground Advantage or Priority Mail.

Please allow up to 3 days for order processing.

No. Slugs are custom made to a specific weight, base and diameter, so all sales are final.

Often, yes. Send us a request with the diameter, base and grain weight you're after.

Every pack is uniform in shape, weight and diameter, with each slug within 0.14 grain of the others.

We promise to run this business with integrity. If we can't fill your order promptly, we'll refund it and tell you why.
