Forge & Field Apex HP .2175 33gr Boat Tail Slugs (200 pcs)

Forge & Field Apex HP .2175 33gr Boat Tail (200 PCS) — Verified 0.188 G1 BC Competition Hollow Point Slugs
The Forge & Field Apex HP .2175 33gr Boat Tail hits the all-round sweet spot for South African 5.5mm (.22) high-power PCP shooters. Boasting a shooter-verified G1 Ballistic Coefficient of 0.188 — nearly double the BC of conventional 33-grain cup-base slugs — this 9.72 mm boat-tail projectile cuts 100-metre crosswind drift down to just 48 mm (1.9″) in a 15 km/h Highveld breeze while retaining 52.0 ft-lbs (70.5 Joules) of energy on target when launched at 940 FPS.
Key Performance Advantages:
Verified 0.188 G1 Ballistic Coefficient: Tapered boat-tail rear geometry dramatically reduces subsonic base drag, keeping the slug stable through turbulent midday thermals and switchy range winds.
High-Pressure Cold-Swaged Precision: Identical concentricity, ogive profile, and core density from slug to slug eliminate flyers and vertical stringing at 100m to 150m.
Specialised Lead Composition & Low-Friction Coating: Engineered to engrave effortlessly into .2175″ (5.524mm) barrels, maximizing muzzle velocity, sealing high-pressure air bursts, and preventing lead build-up in your liner.
NRL22, Benchrest & Hunting Versatility: Combines match-winning 100m accuracy with devastating hollow-point terminal expansion in the field.
