Airgun Ammunition

Airgun ammunition for every shooting discipline

The right airgun ammunition is just as important as the air rifle or air pistol itself. Choosing the correct projectile has a direct impact on accuracy, consistency and overall performance. At SEM Jacht & Schietsport, you'll find an extensive range of airgun ammunition for virtually every type of airgun and shooting discipline.

Our selection includes premium pellets, slugs, BBs and round balls in a wide variety of calibres. Whether you shoot recreationally, compete in target shooting or require maximum precision at longer distances, you'll find the right ammunition for your airgun.

Types of airgun ammunition

Each projectile type has its own characteristics. The best choice depends on your airgun, its power output and your intended shooting distance.

• Pellets: the most commonly used projectiles for recreational and competition shooting.
• Slugs: aerodynamic projectiles designed for powerful PCP air rifles and long-range precision.
• BBs: steel or lead balls for compatible airguns.
• Round balls: traditional projectiles for specific airguns and historical models.

Choosing the correct calibre

Airgun ammunition is available in many different calibres. Always use the calibre specified for your airgun to ensure safe operation and optimum performance.

• 4.5 mm (.177)
• 5.5 mm (.22)
• 6.35 mm (.25)
• 7.62 mm (.30)
• 8 mm (.32)
• 9 mm (.35)
• 11.4 mm (.45)
• 12.7 mm (.50)

Within each calibre, different projectile weights and designs are available. Testing multiple options is often the best way to determine which ammunition delivers the highest accuracy in your airgun.

Pellets or slugs?

Pellets have long been the standard choice for most air rifles. Their distinctive shape provides excellent performance at short and medium shooting distances.

Slugs feature a more bullet-shaped design and are developed primarily for high-powered PCP air rifles. Thanks to their higher ballistic coefficient, they retain velocity and energy more effectively, making them an excellent choice for precision shooting at extended distances.
