H&N Field Target Trophy Green, .22 Cal, 9.56 Grains, Domed, Lead Free, 200ct

Uniform in size and shape: like most H&N pellets, they seem to be very well made. They're a bit shorter than most other domed pellets, so they fit pretty easily and snugly in the breech of the .22 airguns in which I've tried them.

These and the .177 caliber version both give me occasional flyers indoors at thirty feet, so they need to be reliably accurate (basically, these are the only pellets I've tried that aren't consistently accurate out of pretty much everything in which they're tried). More weight! IMO, these are far too light for anything but plinking/target shooting (and that only if they could be counted on to be accurate, but I wouldn't try small game or pest hunting with these either). Lower the MSRP: these FTTG pellets are incredibly low in weight, compared to other lead free pellets. They're shorter too, so obviously they use less of the metals out of which they're made. Why then do they cost as much as the other lead free choices? Until this afternoon, I pretty much thought these were a waste of way too much money, but after finding they shot true out of my Drifter carbines, at least I'll be able to use up what's left of the ones I bought to try them out. I won't be buying more.

Not quite as bad as the .177 version, but both give me problems with accuracy, enough that until today, I'd all but written them off as useful ammo. If I can't count on hitting the thing at which I'm shooting, they're useless. In fact, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use up what was left of the tins I bought to try them out, but today, I dusted off my trusty Crosman Drifter carbine and decided to see what that worthy shooter thought of 'em. Hey: Dead on! No way! These were iffy in just about every .22 airgun I have, at least those in which they were tried. Somehow, I must have missed trying them in my Drifters, because they loved these pellets! I get flyers using them in my Crosman C362 and C2023 particularly, which is a shame, since those basically are my go-to rifles in .22 caliber, but even my Dragonfly MK2 and Crosman 1322 pistol couldn't count on them for reliable accuracy. My Drifter likes them enough I'll use up what's left, so at least it wasn't a total waste of cash... ;-)

Extremely lightweight pellets, only 9.57 grains for .22 caliber. (This page says 9.56 but the container says 9.57.) The light weight makes them fast even in weaker airguns (see below). No lead, of course, which means I don't worry about handling them or lead dust collecting in my rifle barrel or moderator. They are harder than lead so every pellet in the can is perfectly uniform; no deformed skirts or random flyers. Terrific for target shooting and no worries about harming nature if some of them get past your target trap or if you're just shooting bottles and cans in the yard.

I typically use either the Predator GTO Lead Free or the H&N Baracuda Green pellets, which weigh in at 11.75 and 12.96 grains, respectively. I actually ordered these lightweight Field Target Trophy Green pellets by mistake, thinking they were the Baracudas. I worried they would go supersonic in my Avenger which is tuned for the heavier pellets, but they didn't. There is nothing I would change about these pellets. They're a little shorter and rounder than the Baracuda Greens which have a longer, pointier head. At longer ranges, they seem slightly less accurate than their heavier relatives but at 35 yards or so they group nicely.

I compared the nearly 13 grain Baracuda Greens to these 9.5 grain FTT Greens in two of my air rifles. My Air Venturi Avenger is tuned to shoot the heavier pellets at 880 fps and has an SD of about 5 fps regulated at 1500 psi. It shot a mag of these lighter pellets at 965 fps with a SD of 2 fps. I also tried my Gamo Arrow (unregulated) .22 air rifle. It shoots the heavier Baracuda Greens at 750 fps with SD of 3 over the first 10 shots, while pushing out the light FTT Greens at an average of 840 fps, which I felt was pretty respectable for the Gamo Arrow. I use the Avenger to exterminate pests and just use the Arrow for plinking so I'm going to use these light pellets in the Arrow from now on and save the heavier ammo for the Avenger to get more FPE on the rats. Either way, I appreciate this ammo being offered by PyramydAIR.

Excellent pellets for pistols & medium power air rifles to get an extra 100fps out of the airgun. A bit too light for high powered air rifles; my Gamo Magnum was cracking like a .22 power- burner with these!
