H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme .22 Cal, 18.52 gr - 200 ct

Somehow, people prefer JSB, but my Hatsan prefers H&N

Pros
Accurate and hard hitting

Cons
None

Phenomenal accuracy out of my Gamo Swarm Magnum. I reload for my firearms and do a lot of tweaking to get every bit of accuracy out of those loads - consistency is the key to accuracy. For my Gamo, I use front and rear bag rests, along with a Vortex Crossfire II scope and make sure everything is torqued properly. Consistently getting dime size groups at 50 yards.

Pros
Very consistent, which leads to accuracy if your air rifle likes them.

Cons
None.

Pros
Very Accurate

Cons
None

This pellet is accurate out of my Umarex Octane Elite .22. The Chronograph results are the star of the show. Low 798.1 Hi 805.6 Average 801.3 Extreme Spread 7.49 Standard Deviation 2.44 with 26 foot pounds energy. This explains why there are no unexplained fliers when shooting groups, very consistent, other pellets have Standard Deviations around 100 FPS which cause all sorts of shenanigans which include other H&N pellets.

Pros
The color of the packaging. The pellet looks like a Phillips screw head.

Cons
Nothing

I shoot these from my Diana Stormrider. At 25 yards I shoot quarter size groups with them. At 50 yards I can hit a 2 inch target and at 75 yards I can hit a 3 inch target. So over all these are great pellets plus they do expand on harder targets, I shot a 18oz can of crushed tomatoes at 50 yards it blew right threw and mage a hole come out 3 times larger than the pellet. So definitely a good shooter.

Pros
everything

Cons
none

Tested pellet with Umarex Octane producing about 21FPE shooting at 10lb clay block 20 yards out.

Pros
Great hollowpoint design, expands like it?s supposed to.

Cons
Not my airguns favorite pellet hence why it gets a 4 out of 5.

These pellets work great in my 22 Bullboss. I usually shoot the 18 gr. JSB at 940 fps and these H&N match them shot for shot. They pretty much stack at 25 and give me 5/8 groups at 50. The best part is I don’t have to adjust the point of impact between the two. They make taking care of my woodchuck problem around my garden a snap. I can set up on one take a lung shot and they move 5 feet tops. With the JSB they would have enough gas to run under my shed to expire....not a fan of that in the summer heat. I was curious how the terminal performance was so I retrevived one from a 20 yard shot.

Pros
High quality well sorted pellets Notched center delivers full expansion Accurate as any high quality domed pellet

Cons
None

great accurate pellets

Pros
good mushrooming

Cons
none

Visually, the pellets all seem dimensionally uniform. The skirt of this pellet is thicker than other pellet types by H&N. Over all the pellet seems to be well made and engineered for its intended purpose. During my trial of these pellets I found that the pressure required to seat the pellet into the chamber of my RWS48 varied from pellet to pellet, some slipped into the chamber easily, while others required a firm pressure to get them to seat in the chamber. This caused me to shoot numerous groups to be sure that I was seating each pellet consistently in the chamber. As to grouping: at a measured 25 yards, my best group was about 1" and my worst about 3". While doing my best to keep things consistent, in my best effort to gain accuracy, I was unable to repeat, with these pellets, what others define as a greatly accurate pellet, as such I would recommend trying them in your airgun, but mine doesn't seem to care for them.

Pros
Screw top tin.

This is a very hard hitting and accurate pellet that has no problem taking down its prey. It is well made and carries a good wallop on its prey. I think it is better than the Hunter pellet with the little extra weight.

Pros
Accurate, and well made with a perfect size and weight
