H&N Baracuda 18, .22 Reviews

Solid pellet, they shoot well in every PCP I own. They are my go-to pellet for backyard plinking. They are a great value for the money. Did I mention that they shoot straight at high velocity, a big plus in my book. Seems like ever gun that come out now days is trying to break a speed record. I have found very few dented skirts, and they are really consistent.

Nothing

I'd recommend giving them a try if what you're shooting is flying straight and you can't tune it out.

Value Accuracy Consistency

Nothing

Packed well. Shipped promptly. Can't beat the value for the quality of this pellet. Works great in my modified Icon producing around 38fpe at 975fps. Amazing accuracy.

Great quality, my Shockwave loves these heavier pellets. Hit like a hammer!

You can’t have enough pellets to test all your rifles out, so this is added to my collection

Nothing you need all kinds in your arsenal

All in all a good decent clean pallet you just have to buy the right rifle

Accuracy with low cost.

Nothing

Accuracy, Price. Works amazing at 50 yards with my Hatsan Mod65 spring pistol rifle - sub 1" groups! Great at under 50 yards too. A bit too heavy for 80-100 yards. Great availability at a variety of online retailers.

Nothing. bigger can maybe.

Shoot great ,good knock down,pellets are very uniform

Make the tins bigger,like 500 ct

All tins should have screw on lids like these

I liked everything about this pellet: weight, dome head, and accuracy. The price.

Nothing to improve.

I purchased this pellet exclusively as one to be shot from my .22 caliber Umarex Gallant-2. Did not take long to zero in the diamond bullseye on a 2 inch stick-on target affixed on a box, 30 yards away.. Definitely qualifies as a go-to pellet. Three shot chronograph averaged 910 fps. Very good knockdown power, one shot kills out to 50+ yards, I recommend this pellet to be included in your ammo choices.out to 50+ yards. Get a chronograph.

Weight, dome head, and shallow skirt cavity. Good value. Outstanding accuracy shot with my .22 caliber Umarex Gauntlet-2

Absolutely nothing

I test shot this today in sunny 63 degree clear weather. I took 5 shots to zero this pellet at a 1 inch Birchwood Casey stick-on target. I shot the accuracy test with my .22 caliber Umarex Gauntlet-2. Five shots were chronographed at 931-934 fps. All 5 shots hit well inside the one inch perimeter of the target, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th shots hit hole on hole on hole dead center on the 1/4 inch diamond. I used my MTM Case-Gard Predator Shooting Rest. I recommend this pellet. Get a chronograph.

Been shooting H&N Baracuda hunter 18gr for two years, 50 to 100 feet indoor range. Great! Now ourdoors at 150 to 200 feet, disappointing! Switched to Baracuda 18. WoW. Accuracy! Dont know Walther Reign twist rate but heavier pellets unstable after 75 feet. 18.13 grn and the round dome hard to beat. Round dome functions great in Reigns ruff interior magazine too.

I like the cost but I had the H&N hollow points and had better accuracy.

It's a good pellet but might be better in a different rifle.

Wash your hands after loading it is lead.

Awesome pellets that are the perfect weight and extremely accurate. They seem to be made with a tougher blend of lead that reduces the amount of flyers when using a rotary magazine, unlike JSB or FX pellets which are very soft and need to be handled with kid gloves.

Bigger tins with a higher count

Very good choice for most guns

These pellets always shoot tight groups. Pyramid packaging of pellets makes all the difference in the world

Nothing

Quality all use pellet. Accurate in my pcp gun and my 350 Mag. Use for plinking and hunting.

Nothing

This is a quality pellet. Shoot these instead of the cheap Chinese junk.

Everything! They shoot great out of my Crown, Dream Tact and Daystate Huntsman Revere.

Nothing except they need to come in bigger tins. 500 or even 750 count.

Great alternative to other top brands.

Accuracy of this pellet. I use these in my .22 Avenger, shooting out to 30 yds. in my back yard. Super tight groups!

Nothing at all.

As it has been said many times, Pyramid Air's packaging and shipping of pellets is absolutely the best!!!!!!

Good pellet, well made, accurate, as the old saying goes : you get what you pay for

Thicker container they come in

Always happy with H&N pellets

nicely made pallets

nothing

convenient shipped to your door

I liked the tin with it's screw on lid.

They are out of round, If you measure the head then turn the pellet 180 and measure again you will get two different measurements. So if I could change anything I think I would like the to be round.

I have 4 differen hi quality pcp rifles and I can't get these pellets to shoot better than a shotgun pattern at 20 yards ( I believe this is because the pellets are out of round) for me it was a total waste of money, but now I know.

I'm new to pcp air rifle shooting. These pellets fire nicely out of my Hatsan Vectis .22. It was good to see a good selection of pellet weights for me to try.

The pellets fall around inside their can. When I opened the can, a number of them were our of round on their skirts. Being new to air rifling I didn't know if this is a normal occurrence? So I guess I'd like to figure out a way that pellets wouldn't be able to "bounce" around in their cans! The more I think about it, the more I wonder why it hasn't been corrected by the industry? Is it an insurmountable problem?

Reviews for the Vectis indicated that many came "out of the box" shooting bulls eyes! NOT MINE. I'm still fighting to zero in. Any suggestions would be appreciated. bigeasy@comcast.net
