Apolo Hollow Point pellets are engineered for one purpose: dumping maximum energy into the target. Manufactured in Argentina, these are significantly heavier than standard .177 pellets, weighing in at 9.0 grains (vs. the typical 7.0–7.9 grains).

This extra weight serves two critical functions: it stabilizes the pellet in windy conditions and ensures deep penetration before the hollow nose expands. Upon impact, the concave "cup" at the tip flattens rapidly, creating a larger wound channel and delivering a "shock" effect that is ideal for humanely dispatching small pests like rats, starlings, and mynas.

They are designed to perform best in medium-to-high power air rifles (including FAC rated) where the extra power can drive the heavy pellet effectively.

• Heavyweight Design: At 9.0 grains, these are among the heaviest .177 pellets available, offering superior stability and down-range energy retention.

• Rapid Expansion: The deep hollow point nose is designed to mushroom on impact, reducing the chance of over-penetration and ensuring a clean kill.

• Smooth Skirt: Features a smooth (non-knurled) skirt for a tighter seal in the barrel, maximizing velocity and consistency.

• Versatile Use: Excellent for backyard pest control, plinking, and "smashing" targets where seeing the impact is part of the fun.

• Value: Apolo provides premium heavy-pellet performance at a price point significantly lower than many European competitors.
