Single-Feed Design

For best results, push the bullet against the lands when loading to ensure proper engagement with the rifling. Be sure to verify compatibility with your specific airgun platform before ordering.

The LANCER was designed for single-feed big bore airguns and performs exceptionally well in platforms such as the AirForce Texan and similar .457 caliber rifles.

Key Features

• Proprietary aluminum tip developed specifically for big bore airgun velocities

• Ultra-Low Drag (ULD) profile for exceptional ballistic efficiency

• High ballistic coefficient (BC) for long-range stability

• Hollow back design supports the extended ULD profile, helping achieve exceptional ballistic efficiency and long-range stability while maintaining a lighter weight for caliber

• Precision-swaged 100% soft lead core

• Designed for competition and hunting applications

• Built to Compete. Proven to Hunt.

Designed for Competition and Hunting

The LANCER .457 Airgun Slug was engineered from the start to perform in both competitive shooting and hunting applications.

Its long ULD profile and proprietary aluminum tip help maximize ballistic efficiency, reduce drag, and maintain stability at extended distances. The result is a projectile capable of delivering excellent accuracy while retaining energy downrange.

This is not a hunting slug adapted for matches — or a match slug pressed into field use. It is a purpose-built projectile designed to excel in both roles.

Many shooters assume they must choose between long-range precision and dependable terminal performance. The LANCER was engineered to deliver both.

Shooters pushing distances where traditional slugs begin to lose efficiency will appreciate the advantages provided by the LANCER's aerodynamic design and exceptional BC.

ALCO Terminal Ballistic Design

Serious hunters demand more than accuracy alone. ALCO ULD projectiles are engineered to combine aerodynamic efficiency with dependable terminal performance.

The proprietary aluminum tip is designed to enhance ballistic efficiency in flight and separate upon impact, initiating expansion. The resulting cavity works in conjunction with the hollow back design and soft swaged lead construction to promote effective energy transfer and dependable field performance.

The hollow back design allows the LANCER to maintain its long Ultra-Low Drag profile and exceptional ballistic coefficient while keeping weight optimized for its length. This combination helps provide outstanding long-range stability, aerodynamic efficiency, and dependable terminal performance in the field.

The combination of the proprietary aluminum tip, hollow back design, and soft swaged lead construction was developed to provide exceptional terminal performance without sacrificing long-range accuracy. The result is a projectile capable of delivering both the precision and stopping power serious hunters expect when ethical shot placement matters most.

While terminal results vary based on impact velocity, shot placement, and target conditions, every ALCO ULD design is developed with two goals in mind: exceptional accuracy and ethical hunting performance.

Real-World Results

ALCO ULD slugs have earned a reputation for dependable terminal performance in the field. One customer used an ALCO .457 ULD slug to harvest "Igor," a 500-pound boar during a hunt at Ted Nugent's Sunrize Acres property, reporting complete penetration and an ethical harvest.

Results vary based on platform, shot placement, and conditions, but real-world experiences like these help demonstrate the performance serious hunters expect from ALCO projectiles.

Ballistic Performance

Shooters looking for a high-performance .457 Airgun Slug will appreciate the combination of aerodynamic efficiency, retained energy, and exceptional long-range stability offered by the LANCER design.

The combination of a long ULD profile, proprietary aluminum tip, and carefully controlled manufacturing process helps support:

• Consistent flight characteristics

• Improved resistance to wind drift

• Enhanced velocity retention

• Dependable energy retention

• Repeatable long-range performance

These design elements work together to help shooters maintain confidence as distances increase and conditions become more challenging.

Precision Manufacturing for Repeatable Results

Each projectile is precision-swaged from 100% soft lead and fitted with a custom-machined aluminum tip built to ALCO specifications. This manufacturing process helps provide:

• Superior bore seal

• Uniform rifling engagement

• Consistent velocities

• Repeatable shot placement

The result is a projectile built for consistency from shot to shot and lot to lot. Every production run is carefully monitored to help ensure the performance serious shooters expect from ALCO products.
