Hawke Optics is exclusive UK distributor for Rifle airgun pellets and slugs

Hawke Optics has announced an exclusive distribution agreement for the UK market with Rifle Ammunition, a premium airgun pellet brand manufactured in Brazil. This partnership marks a strategic expansion of Hawke’s offering, bringing high-quality ammunition to complement its industry-leading optics range.

Rifle Ammunition pellets have been developed using advanced manufacturing techniques and stringent quality control processes to ensure exceptional consistency, accuracy, and performance. Produced in Brazil and soon to begin manufacturing in Europe, with a new production facility in Portugal, the brand uses precision tooling and high-grade lead alloys to deliver uniform weight distribution and optimal aerodynamic characteristics.

The pellet range will be available in multiple calibres and head sizes, catering to a wide spectrum of airgun disciplines, from target shooting to hunting applications. Designed to perform across sub-12 ft/lb air rifles and high-powered PCP platforms, the pellets and slugs aim to deliver tight grouping, reliable expansion and consistent ballistic performance.

Commenting on the partnership, Hawke Optics UK sales director, Jamie Ransome, said: "We’re thrilled to introduce this exclusive range of airgun pellets to the UK. This partnership allows us to offer customers high-quality, reliable products while strengthening our support for retailers and shooters alike."
