Haendler & Natermann

H&N History

Based in Hann. Munden, Germany, H&N's history dates back to 1825, when the company's founders were in business producing milled lead and lead foil commonly used for lining tobacco tins and tea caddies. In 1847, Carl Georg August Natermann - today considered the "father" of H&N Sport - purchased a fortified tower in Hann. Mnden and converted it into a shot tower. From there, Natermann's company would produce lead shot through the 1980s under the brand name "Ltare." Apart from this, the company reports, bullets were manufactured since the 1890s.

Why do shooters trust H&N airgun ammo?

H&N is known for producing high-quality airgun pellets and slugs that balance supreme accuracy, predictable flight paths, and reliable impact. Since the 1950s, their lineup has expanded to cover everything from lightweight lead-free options to heavy hunting slugs. Every batch is tested against strict quality control standards, giving shooters absolute confidence in the field.

• Exact Quality Control: Rigorous manufacturing standards ensure uniform head sizes (ranging from 4.5 mm to 9.05 mm) and exact weight consistency from tin to tin.
• Versatile Configurations: Choose from round nose, pointed, wadcutters, hollowpoints, and cylindrical slugs designed to solve specific shooting challenges.
• Patented Expansion Technology: Specific hunting lines utilize a partitioned hollow point with a central lead projection to force maximum expansion and energy transfer on impact.
• Broad Caliber Support: Reliable ammunition scaling from standard .177 caliber backyard plinkers up to powerful .457 caliber big bore air rifles.

Which H&N pellet is right for my airgun?

Selecting the correct ammunition depends entirely on your intended target and distance. Here's a breakdown of the specific advantages of H&N's most popular pellet designs:

• Field Target Trophy: Competition shooting, backyard plinking, and general use.
• Baracuda: Long-range hunting requiring high weight and uniform accuracy.
• Terminator: Medium-range hunting requiring rapid expansion and high knock-down power.

When you load an H&N pellet, you eliminate the ammunition as a variable in your shooting. You get predictable trajectories, reliable knock-down power, and tighter shot groups, allowing you to focus entirely on your fundamentals and your target. Trusted by competitive shooters and backyard plinkers alike.
