THOR CUP BASE SLUGS 19GR .217 - 200's

Another lineup in the THOR range of slugs, these ones weighing in at a mere 19 grains for .22 PCP rifles w/ a specific diameter of .217 / 5.51mm. These are locally manufactured using a slug press. The lead isn't physically melted and cast like you'd have when making deep sea fishing weights. They have a thin hollow point, the lead used here is quite soft for optimal expansion and deformation and likewise, should be handled with some care specifically for this reason, so as to prevent deformation before the round is chambered.

Physically measuring these from a random selection of five slugs, we get:

Height (mm): 7.80, 7.69, 7.69, 7.80, 7.70
Width (at base, in mm): 5.54, 5.55, 5.54, 5.54, 5.55
Width (at the head, in mm): 3.00, 3.00, 2.99, 3.06, 3.11
Cup base depth (in mm): 3.01, 2.67, 2.65, 2.72, 2.63
Weight (in grains): 19.6, 19.2, 19.0, 19.8, 19.6

(Please note that we didn't use any high end precision instruments for taking the above measurements. Just ordinary tools you could purchase from your local hardware shop)

Alot of customers do enjoy these slugs, however, most people instead prefer to shop by brand, specifically JSB KO's and H&N SLUG HP's, however, for accuracy and damage, you guys shouldn't rule these out. We do strongly recommend supporting local manufacturing to help them get up to the level of precision manufacturing that giants like JSB are. There are numerous advantages of course, for everyone, to supporting local..

That all being said, these are the ideal flyweight slug for lower powered PCP rifles that might otherwise have difficulty w/ 21gr H&N Slug HP's, such as your PR900's (on factory power setting) or others who like to rather shoot in the region on 600 ~ 700 FPS
