Page 2 - H&N Field Target, .25 Reviews

The accuracy, velocity, dome design, and weight. Was able to zero my new Gauntlet, 1/4 of an inch below the bullseye, on a 2 inch Birchwood Casey target, putting 3 of these pellets in the exact same hole.

Nothing.

I bought this pellet, hoping for the best of both worlds: light weight velocity and accuracy. I bought an Umarex .25 caliber Gauntlet PCP, about 3 weeks ago. This is one of four pellets, with different grainage, that I purchased to be shot, with the Gauntlet This pellet gave me what I was looking for. A five shot Chronograph using my Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital, results were: 986, 989, 986, 986, 989, averaging 987 fps, resulting in 43.4 ft lbs energy. The accuracy was shot over my measured 90 foot backyard range. I mounted an extra CenterPoint 3-9X32AOIR mildot scope, which was very clear. I had it set on 6X. The first 2 shots on a large 36 inch x 40 inch box, were low to the right of a 2 inch circular target. 6 more shots, with windage and height adjustments, I was zeroed in, putting hole on top of hole on top of hole, with 3 Shots, barely looking like 2 holes. But thru closer scrutiny, it was 3 hits, less than a 3rd of an inch. I will certainly buy this pellet.

more economic than the JSB's

this is a great go to pellet if you like lighter pellets.

Great price, super accurate, lighter weight lead pellet for the .25 cal. & good quality uniformed shape.

Nothing

I adapted a .25 cal gamo shadow barrel to my Gamo Magnum, it spits these 20.06 lead pellets over my chronograph at a constant 808fps making 29.87 fpe! And 16.54 lead free pellets at 998fps ... well over 35 fpe! Both are perfect for long distance shooting.

Threaded lid on the tin. Pellet specs clearly marked on the lid including minimum Energy requirement. This last spec is unique in airgun ammunition and I really appreciate it. I can shoot one pellet of any mass over the chrony, calculate the Energy the gun produced, read the spec for the H&N pellet and know before I buy whether or not it has any chance of working well in my rifle. This has proven to be a useful method with both springers and PCPs from .177 to .25 caliber. Well don H&N!

Availability of a larger tin (greater quantity and a better price per round) with a threaded lid of course.

These pellets worked well in my Kral Puncher Pro .25 at 27 yds (1" group). The Puncher Pro is somewhat underpowered for a .25 caliber rifle which for certain purposes is a good thing. But it makes the rifle a little fussy about pellet selection. At full power the rifle shot GTO pellets at 815 fps and 1" group at 27 yds. I have found that GTO pellets are the gold standard for underpowered rifles. By comparison these H&N pellets shot 755 fps with similar group size and only slightly lower POI at 27 yds. A decent compromise for a much cheaper pellet.

purchased for greater distance w/my HW95

Hit a used light bulb at 93 yards. Took a few shots as I was zero'd on JSB King 25gr. Needed a lighter pellet for no wind days. Get flatter shots at distance. These are zippy good fun.

I've used these brand pellets before. I'm satisfied. Sometimes you get bad skirts, but overall they are good value, and hit hard.

I tested in an Edgun Morana (Mopaha). Gun moves JSB 25gr @ 947fps on 3300psi fill. I made no scope adjustment zero'd @50 yards on JSB 25gr. So, I was trying to use less holdover as an experiment. I used about one mil dot holdover. Light bulb was facing shooter, so 2-3" diameter. That's the furthest out I've taken that rifle. Normally 50-75 yards on 25gr JSB. So, I'm pleased I made that shot. I did hear a slight break in sound barrier. On the cusp. First two shots. Then it settled sweet. Zippy, but controlled.

The 20.06 grain pellet weight. The velocity attained when shot from my .25 caliber Remington VTR-725. The dome head. Accuracy.

Nothing.

I chronographed 5 shots across my Electronic ProCrono Digital at: 722, 716, 723, 721, and 717. Averaging 720 fps. Accuracy testing at 90 feet were excellent shooting at a 2 inch target, with multiple hits. VERY deadly hunting pellet. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

These are excellent in my breakbarrels and they do give some great accuracy in most of my rifles.

nothing really

Good quality pellets for target or hunting.

Excellent pellets for .177 & .22

Offer variable head size for .25 caliber also.

Do not buy these for a Sumatra or any other non choked .25 caliber barrel unless you know it's dead on at .250" 6.50mm. These heads are too small for my .253" Sumatra.

H&N FTT are one of the very best pellets available and are amazingly accurate out of most any rifle if you pick the correct head size, as .177's & .22's are available in 6 variable hundredths. 4.50-4.55mm & 5.50-5.55mm.

I bought these for a .25 Sumatra, which has no choke & slugs at .251" The .25's do NOT come in a variable head size on website. Hence, they do not shoot well out of my Sumatra; but from any .25 with a choked barrel I'm sure you'd have great accuracy.

I size all my pellets for target shooting so it wasn't a terrible loss, just more work as it's a lot easier to size down than up; but contrary to what most think, one can increase head size slightly if they know how and flaring a skirt so no light shines through magazine holes is easy. The uniformity of pellets is consistent. I only gave it 1 star (poor) as I bought these for a non choked Sumatra and ideally I'd have picked 6.53" where these are dead on .250" 6.50mm.

Accurate, fast pellets for my .25 Benjamin Trail NP XL. Out to 50 yards I've had 1" five-shot groups.

More pellets for the money.

Good, light .25 pellet.

good pellets

nothing

Out of my Benji NP XL these shot the tightest grouping at 25 yards from a sample pack of >12 brands/weights/shapes. 1/2" 5 shot ragged hole at 25 yards off sandbag assisted Artillery Hold

Nothing. Any misses are most likely my trigger or hold.

GREAT NP pellet. Probably too light for PCP.

Again H&N consistency. They shoot well. And are so close to my Hatsan Vortex weight that I don't have to make any adjustments.

There's nothing to improve.

My Hattie break barrel likes them so if you got a PCP I can't help you there. I can only imagine with a regulated gun that they would do even better.

clean and uniform, no damaged or deformed pellets in the tin.

larger quantity in the tin.

These grouped up very well in my HW90. They stayed right in the 1/2" - 3/4" grouping at 30 -40 yard targets, about the same as the JSB 25.49 I usually put through it. A little lighter means a little faster, so the P.O.I. raised about 3/4" at 30 yards.

All of my 25 cal rifles shoot this pellet well. Good penetration and not too heavy.

Nothing

A premium pellet that delivers consistent accuracy.

High quality uniformed in size. Very accurate. Great price.

Nothing

Light weight enough for higher FPS for flatter trajectory.... Yet heavy enough to be effective for long distance shooting.

Low price I suppose. I basically used these pellets for breaking in my Hatsan Dominator (coil spring) and Hatsan Edge (gas spring). So, I couldn't expect much from any pellet. However, read on...

Make these more uniform in shape.

I didn't measure the size of these but it seemed that some pellets were very difficult to insert into the breech and others seemed a bit too loose. Both of my guns were shooting very inaccurately with these pellets. I don't know if its because of the light weight or the lack of uniformity. I'm not yet experienced enough with large caliber air guns to know.

Good product, good company. clean pellets, very accurate for targets

nothing

great for plinking or competition.

Shoot very well

Need a little more weight

.25 cal. Advertised weight is 20.06 gr .... but on the can it states the weight is 19.91 gr
