very accurate!

Nothing

second most accurate pellet in my np trail.

Very clean-good looking-easy loading pellet in the tx 200. Out of the tin about 35% of pellets weighed .1gr. light-1 weighed .1gr. heavy and 1 was scrap. At 50' a 5-shot group of .25" was possible and a 10-shot group of .4" tp .5" was possible. So far this is the only pellet that does not have a flyer. At 50 yds. a 10-shot group of 1.75" was possible but the pellets wanted to drop about 3".

Nothing

Maybe too much pellet for the rifle at this range.

Great pellet very accurate and good weight

H&N Baracuda pellets are hard hitting with accuracy in my .22s @ 21.14 Grains. These hold there power down range for great knock down on small game. The H&N product is solid and these Baracuda show that in how well they work. Same pellet as the Beeman Kodiak for less money. If you have a Magnum springer most shoot the Baracuda / Kodiack well with Accuracy.

A Screw lid would be a great upgrade on any tin of pellets with a push on lid.

I would only use in a gun that can support heavy grain pellets. These are one of the worlds most known pellet for solid knock down and accuracy. These pellets are less effected by wind due to the weight.

Highly accurate pellet in my Air Arms 410E Side Lever.

Nothing except adding more pellets to a tin.

Nothing.

Very consistent pellets. Gave the tightest groups of the pellets I've tried so far in my Airforce condor.

Nothing but put in a screw-on lid. The slide on trend these high end pellets take is annoying.

excellent pellet in the ben jamin maurader!!!

if their is a thing as the prefect pellet, this is it! nothing wrong with that!

in my benjamin maurader, 3/16 groups at 30yds sight in distance. 5/16 at 50yds!

Dale-USA Nothing works great in my TX 200

Screw on lids.

Well worth the money

They shoot good in all the guns I have tried them in .I have shot them in six or seven air rifles with great results.This is my third order.

the tin.

Try some.

Very accurate and hard hitting, worth the money if accurate in your gun.

in my Airforce Talon (.22cal) these shoot great at 25 and 50 yards.

After going through nearly 2,000 of these in my Benjamin Discovery I can say this is THE pellet for it - very hard hitting & accurate. I have had only 3 deformed pellets out of all those and all 3 were in the same tin (and minor deformities at that--dented skirts) Very few flyers and that's probably only because the PSI was getting low.

MORE, MORE, MORE per tin please! I can deal with the screwless lid but how about tins of 500?

In my opinion these ARE Beeman Kodiaks - just better.

very good for my Marauder, hard hitting, clean, consistent. The copper coated version (Beeman Kodiak Double Gold) is even better, but very $$$.

screw on lid

A bit faster than the Kodiak, but a bit less accurate. Best bang for the buck in a heavy pellet.

Clean and consistent looking, I expected these to be as good as reviews say.

I got a new Marauder and tried these, JSB exact heavy 18.1, Discovery Hollowpoint 14.3 and Crosman premier 14.3 shooting from a bench at 35 yards in backyard. These were the worst performers of all the above, I could not believe when the first flyer hit four inches right! Another shot hit 3 or four inches to the left and the rest scattered within approx 3 inches. That had never happened before with the Marauder in approx 200 shots. The Crosman premiers shoot dime size 10 shot groups, the JSBs shoot quarter size groups, the discoverys shoot 1-1 1/2 inch groups.

Like the review below me my Marauder does not like these. Maybe when I adjust the power up to 3000 they will work better? It's set from factory at 2500. I will get back to these and try again later. I am fairly recent to airguns but a good consistent shot. I had an RWS 350 Magnum that liked the Crosman premiers best by far also. I am puzzled as to how many pellets just shoot really poorly from these 2 guns. And I wonder why the Crosmans shoot best, they don't look like much to the naked eye, they are quite loose in the magazine and I saw a good many deformed skirts while these Barracudas all looked perfect and fit consistently just snug in magazine!

Overall the pellets are good. It is strange that my Marauder once liked the pellets but now does not. I have three tins of these pellets that for some reason will not work now.

A better tin design would be nice. Either a pop off or screw on lid.

Just because they are match pellets does not mean skirts are not bent or they do not need to be cleaned. They are still pretty clean, but there are still metal fragments in the tin. Also, note these are a 5.51 size head. The site did not say that at one time.

Heavy 21.1gr. Legendary West German Quality. Consistent from pellet to pellet.

Maybe a little softer lead. Like the JSB Jumbo.

For a magnum gun. For a gun that likes medium to large heads. This one is worth a try, great pellet for Benjamin Marauder. Same pellet as the Beeman Kodiak.

Pellets are heavy that carry more momentum. The dom shape is good for aerodynamics.

Nothing

I can group 5 out of 5 in one inch diameter target at 11 yeards. Excellent performance

everything i would not change anything a very good round

nothing

I have now put 750 rounds through my new Ben Trail XLand the accuracy is excellent. At 22 gr. I expected a lot of drop at extende ranges but at 50 yds my drop is only 3/4 inch over my 30 yd spot. As for coverage (from a rest) I have 5 in a dime at 30 yds and 5 in a 1/2 dollar at 50 yds, Beat that!

Nothing

These are match rounds and should be handled carefully. When changing rounds take the time to really shoot 200 rounds at a number of different targets so you really understand the pellets capability - log your results to campare to other pellets.

Everything

Nothing

These pellets work great in all my pellet guns - 2250B - RM-600 - 22SG - TAC 1
