This traditional shaped bullet is when applied to an airgun a ‘slug’ and a slug usually has a better Ballistic Coefficient than a pellet. What this means in practise  is that the slug retains a lot more energy at extreme ranges where it outperforms an airgun pellet. But The ART team didn’t have an easy time of it as trials revealed that it’s not always so easy to get better results and a lot of development work was needed to ensure that short range accuracy would at least match that of a pellet.

The Juggernaut slug is the team’s answer producing phenomenal accuracy right out to 100 meters and beyond. The Juggernaut .22 and .25 now joins a range of 19 other pellets in the Rangemaster brand with each type is given it’s own sub-brand relating to the power it is recommended for:

Precision-made to exacting tolerances, the Rangemaster Kaiser, Sovereign, Sovereign Hunter, King,  Emperor pellets and now Juggernaut Slugs cover, between them, calibres from .177 to .30 (4.5 to 7.62mm) and weights from 8.44 to 50.15 grains (0.547 to 3.240 grams).

Each of the Rangemaster types has been specially matched to suit specific purposes, from short- and long-range hunting to field target and Benchrest competition, with ballistic configurations to cater for rifles that produce sub-12ft/lbs (16J) power output to those in excess of 100+ft/lbs (135+J).

Supplied in new, easily-identifiable colour-coded tins (of 150 to 500 according to type/calibre), Rangemaster is the line that’s got every shooting scenario covered.

Look out for more additions to the Rangemaster brand coming soon!
