Real-world commentary
Griffin is a handmade swaged-slug maker offering an unusually wide range of weights and base designs, from light deep-hollow-base slugs for low-power tunes to heavy boat-tail and low-density-core hunting slugs. The line recently grew to include a .30 caliber flat-base heavy slug (81-83gr) alongside new .22 caliber options, and the maker has flagged an active refresh that is retiring some older, redundant SKUs.
