AEA Competition Master Slug .457 Cal, 335gr (for MCAR)

Match-Grade. 350–500+ FPE. Purpose-Built for MCAR Competition.

The AEA Competition Master Slug in .457 Cal 335gr is a purpose-built heavyweight competition projectile engineered for extreme big bore competition and maximum power transfer — featuring a deep hollow point cavity for rapid expansion and kinetic shock, smooth bearing surface for balanced rifling friction, precision flat/rebated dish base for gas sealing under high pneumatic pressure, and tight ±0.5 grain weight tolerances. Optimized specifically for the BinTac MCAR .457 and compatible high-power .457 caliber platforms generating 350–500+ FPE.

Overview

The Competition Master 335gr's precision swaged and die-formed construction delivers tight weight tolerances and uniform concentricity that traditional hand-cast bullets cannot match — providing the shot-to-shot consistency demanded by serious competitors. The optimized match profile combines a deep hollow point for maximum energy transfer on impact, a smooth bearing surface to minimize rifling friction while maintaining consistent bore engagement, and a precision flat/rebated dish base that obturates under initial pneumatic pressure for a complete gas seal at 250–350 BAR operating pressures. At 335 grains, this slug is designed for the subsonic-transonic velocity window of 680–780 fps where maximum momentum and wind-bucking performance are achieved.

Specifications

⚠️ Requires high-power .457 caliber PCP platforms generating a minimum of 300 ft-lbs for proper propulsion. Optimal performance at 350–500+ ft-lbs.

⚠️ 24.5–25.0mm length requires sufficient magazine depth — verify compatibility with your platform before ordering.
