Page 4 - H&N Baracuda 18, .22 Reviews

Highly accurate in my Walther Reign 22 cal. at 30 meters. Pellets are moving at 960 fps with 37 ft lbs. I have dropped three squirrels at that range with upper chest shots. Pellet expansion against a hard surface is excellent I will conduct further tests at greater ranges.

A 500 round tin would be nice.

This pellet is probably best suited for a FAC rated rifle.

Very well made pellet and consistent weight...Also the care that was shown by p air with its shipping of these pellets was outstanding.....My hatsan mod 95qe shoots these the best of any pellet iv'e tried so far......Try a can and see if they work for you..... Thats all i got.....

Price and larger amount of pellets per can......

Always be aware of what is beyond your intended target before you pull that trigger.....

These Baracudas are very well built and good quality pellets. They work perfect in my Remington Express .22 caliber and hit hard at the target. For small game, I hit a raccoon around 25 yards but wouldn't recommend going any further then that. I would use these pellets in a hunting rifle over 20 foot pounds of energy because they are very accurate with a well placed shot. So far, these are the best pellets I have and like them very much!

Having 500ct would be nice

Do your own research as not every pellet works the same for your air rifle. Remington is an excellent brand and works for me so I'm definitely not trying to downplay any other's. Find what works for you but I do recommend theses pellets for .22 caliber.

Great weight and shape is very consistent.

Nothing then are my new go to for long range accuracy.

Great German quality

Well, I Purchased 2000 rounds. What does that tell you?

Larger container.

Every bit as good as any other ammunition out there.

Real tack drivers

500 piece tins would be great

Works great with the Huben K1 2020

Did a little target practice using the Benjamin Marauder PCP , shooting the new H&N Baracuda 18 pellets at 50 yards . Shot 40 rounds at eight 3" targets in 5 shot groups. It was quite gusty - I usually waited for the wind to die down before shooting . Scope was set at ( +4 , 0 ) . Results : 13% shots were within 1 MOA of the POA ; 53% shots were within 2 MOA of the POA ; 93% shots were within 3 MOA of the POA . The results were not as good as the results on Friday, a calm day. Used the Hatsan FlashPup .22 shooting H&N Baracuda 18 pellets at 50 yards. Shot 40 rounds at eight 3" targets in 5 shot groups . The scope was set at (+4 , 0) . The results were : 13% were within 1 MOA of the POA ; 53% shots were within 2 MOA of the POA ; 80% shots were within 3 MOA of the POA . The results were a little worse than the results obtained on Friday . Friday was a calm day , versus a gusty day . Measured gust of 12.2 mph. Need to shoot again on a calm day.

None

I was hoping that they would be better in the wind at 18 gr, versus the 14.66 gr. pellets. If you have zeroed the scope using 14.66 pellets, a +4 MOA gets very close to the POA.

Very consistent shape and skirt. Flies straight from most of my guns and groups tightly.

Adding a few more pellets to the tin would be a nice thing.

Your mileage may very but I will be purchasing more of these.

Use these in my crosman 2260 pcp I built. With a 2800 psi fill and 16" barrel, these are producing 23 ft/lbs of energy and are laser beams as far as I can shoot them. They load easy, no jerking or tight loading. Very consistent in weight and shape. I had this gun zeroed with polymags but they lose their accuracy after 25-30 yards. Had to adjust my scope by 2 clicks up and 5 to the right to get my zero back from the polys. This gun shoots the jsb 18.13 well too, so I took a gamble and ordered 1600 of these pellets and was amazed at their performance and quality. They are grouping and loading better than the jsbs. Squirrels, groundhogs, and pest birds are toast for sure.

Nothing as of now.

Buy them before they're gone, you won't be disappointed

Nice Mid range weight, works well in my rifles

More pellets per tins

These are nice addition to my ammo selection, not to heavy, but heavy enough to hold a strong fpe

nice looking pellet , no flash on the skirts at all. compares favorably to the JSB 18.13 pellet. The price was a fantastic deal wish I would have bought more but didn't.

none

I would say they give the JSB's a run for the money, atleast in my guns and you might have better results, give them a try to see how your gun likes them. I will buy more.

I just love um . Move over JSB. Theirs a new pellet in town.

Price.

May be a price war between the two would be a thumbs up.

These H&N pellets shoot as well as other name-brand pellets being sold on the market today.

I like to see them put more pellets in the tin rather than 200.

Any air gun that you own that likes 18-grain pellets, try these.

These pellets are just as accurate as JSB 18.13s. More importantly they are available. My Akela and Avenger both one hole the H&N 18s at 35 yards and about a dime at 50 yards. The zero for the 18s are the same as the H&N Hunters.

Make a 400 or 500 count tin.

I initially bought 3 + 1 free. I was so satisfied with their performance I bought 6 + 2 free. Hey I like JSB and have been sitting on a couple of tins JSB 18.13s because who knows when they'll be back in stock. Now I think the H&N 18s will be my new go to pellet in .22.

I've tested many different pellets thru my Hatsan Flash bullpup and most shot decent groups,but this Baracuda 18 has been the m.ost accurate and consistent thus far. More than happy with these H&Ns and is now my number one go to pellet. Great price as well !!

Nothing

I would recommend trying these in your rifle. I believe most will be happy with the results

What can I say, best pellets in my Cayden so far. Far exceed other pellets I've shot. These are very accurate, look well made, very tight tolerances in weight/size and fly very stable ! I'm gonna compare these to JSB. I was shooting a dime size whole out at 46 yards so they work very well in my gun. I highly recommend this ammo

Not a thing

Get ready to experience some extreme accuracy

Price, accuracy

where's the 500 round tins!!!

The timing of this pellet arriving on US shores when the shelves are empty of any competing pellet is either marketing genius or sheer luck, either way I just ordered 4 more tins, and I'll continue to use them until I can no longer find them. In a rifled zeroed with JSB 15.89gr Match Exacts, the first 12 rounds produced a 3/8" group a couple clicks right of center, second magazine, 3/8" group a couple clicks right of center.
