Page 2 - H&N Baracuda 18, .22 Reviews

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

Unlike Amazon and some others, Pyramid ships pellets in protective foam packaging. No dented tins or spilled pellets.

Nada

Excellent quality and exceptional accuracy!

Excellent quality and exceptional accuracy!

Shoots 1/4" groups at 25 yrds for me.

Larger amount in tin and foam on top and bottom of inside tin

PA packs and ships things out quick. Down side is they use fed ex and they never deliver on time always days later. This is with everything that i get from fed ex. Wheres UPS, they were great.

Good precision 22 caliber, quality pellet and almost as good as JSB Exact Jumbo18.13.

Keep the tolerance of the weight to +/- .10

Nice looking consistent pellets that perform well in my P-rod, M-rod, 2250, 1322 and 2240.

nothing

No regrets

I like the uniformity of each pellet. These are excellent and accurate beyond 50 yards.

Nothing

Quality!!! At a fair price.

They are great pellet used them in average bullpup 22 cal shot dime size group at 40 yards. Same with Benjamin akela

Not thing they are great

Not lot of bent pellets in the tin great pellets thanks pyramyd air

Shoot very well out of my Hatsan 95 with a 1:17 twist rate.

Maybe a little longer pellet length.

N/A

First time I tried the 18 grain Baracuda pellets and was pleasantly surprised. Good groups out to 50 yards.

Wouldn't mind a bigger tin.

Well formed, consistent pellets.

These seem to work quite well if they are loaded rounded end forward, and they are air cooled (important for all things germane to a man cave).

If they were cheaper I would probably use more of them.

LOve them

nothing

excellent value

I love the Packaging of the pellets and the consistency of pellet head size , My Gamo Wildcat Whisper loves these and out shoots the other brands it is an awesome pellet and great value .

Nothing !

If you want a great deal on your pellets you can not go wrong with Pyramidair their packaging and delivery is second to none !

5 shot groups at 50 yards that can be covered with a dime from my Daystate Huntsman Regal.

Not a thing.

Fits well in my Hatsan model 95 and is accurate.

No

well made pellets. so for so good. seem to be doing a great job. as for accuracy; actually just as good as JSB pellets. both daystate huntsman regal and air arms s510 extra fac likes them. no complains

price is what everybody would like to see go down

give them a try

Good flight for this pellet. Very nice hitting power. Seems to fly very true. I have had very small shot groups.

Make some larger tins available.

Worth the extra cost.

the extra weight and the gained accuracy when used in my walther springer air rifles. Small loss of velocity compared to 14 grain pellets but this helped accuracy

would not change anything

German made and of very good quality. Clean and leave almost nothing in the barrel.

I got a couple extra in each can. They probably use a scale in automation to fill the cans. These and the rabbit Magnum all have a date code of 34346.

Well they didn't quite weigh 18.13. I measured them in groups of 10 and the average 17.85. that's probably why there's an extra 10 or so in the can. There's probably nothing that they would change and maybe a different lot on a different day might be a little different and only time will tell.

I love the way they put the amount of energy that you need as a minimum for these to work properly. That is listed in joules and is 16 so in ft/lbs that's @ 12. So they really only have to go about 600 ft per second at a minimum. If you can adjust your power and keep them between 825 and 880 ft per second you should have very very accurate shots.28 to 30 foot pounds is more than enough for rabbits and squirrels. I haven't been out to the range yet but I have seen some YouTube videos that they're shooting at 100 yards but for ethical hunting I think 50 or 60 yards should be just fine.

More consistent weight then other big names. Weighed contents of entire tins and found variance of one grain up or down from stated weight. Almost 75% of the pellets in tin were stated weight. Just as accurate too, checked at 100 yards and gave the same under inch groups.

Nothing!

I put a few drops of silicone lube in container and gently rotated to lube pellets.
