American Air Arms
308 Slayer
The Slayer is the most advanced air rifle on the market today offering light weight, durability and high craftsmanship in a super accurate package. Ammo recommended for the 308 rifle:
99 grain swage HP has unreal accuracy and a HUGE hollow point to open up on game.
357 Slayer ( make sure to order .358 for Slayer )
Same as the 308 but in a larger more powerful package. Ammo recommended for the 357 (.358) rifle:
120 grain swage HP is just incredible in the Slayer. No bullet can match it and is a hollow point made with super accurate swage press.
140 grain swage HP is also very very accurate but will shoot a bit slower.
105 grain swage HP is a light weight super fast bullet for the Slayer.
95 grain swage HP is a super light weight bullet for the Slayer.
Evol - no slugs available at this time we recommend

Dragon Claw 50 Caliber
The EPP is a great round with the right weight to shoot at 209 grains.
Light Hunter 909 45 caliber
The EPP is always a great choice for this gun at 168 grains and is an inexpensive round to shoot.
Swaged 196 grain are a good hollow point with reported good accuracy in the gun
Recluse 35 Caliber
Recommend the .358 95 grain slug, good weight and accuracy
EPP at 79 grains is also a good round for this gun and is inexpensive
The 105 grain swage slug also shoots well out of the Recluse
