H&N Baracuda .20, .20 Reviews

.20 caliber is hard to find, good to get some.

keep more .20 cal pellets in stock

.20 cal is hard hitting, good flight characteristics

quick service, nicely packed; buy four, get one free is a real deal!

long wait for this product; not many use this diameter; get them while you can!

These pellets work great in my blue streak. Great pellets accurate well made great value and like many I wish the .20 caliber was as popular as 177 or 22

Nothing as these were well made and very consistent

The barracuda pellets are great in my 392 also so just as happy and accurate in other calibers

Great product

Make sure delivery is on time.

They are clearly a well made product...

... but the head size is so large that they have to be heavily forced into the barrel of my R9. By comparison, H&N's own FTT's slip in beautifully. Its a head scratcher.

I gave my ratings based on my personal experience with only one rifle. These pellets may be great in someone else's, but I don't know why H&N would make them so large and I'd expect the same problem in most guns. Which makes these pellets very expensive plinker. Another lot may be different, but that would mean H&N isn't controlling their product very well, and I doubt that.

Consistent size and weight, well packaged. Function above my expectations

All good, but larger(500) tin size would be nice

These worked great for me in a Sheridan Model C, if you have not tried these, wound be a good idea to check them out.

Good screw cap tins.

These pellets weighed between 13.3 and 13.8 grains which is not what I would have expected from an H&N product. Also, the skirt diameter varied between .203 and .207. They shot poorly in my Sheridan.

Try one tin of pellets first to see how they shoot in your gun before buying four tins of them like I did with these!!!

The HW80 loves these as much as the JSB in similar weight. I don't have a chrony, but you can hear the transmission of energy at 40 yards on steel. It's very substantial. Probably my fastest Weihrauch of all. Accurate and reliable.

Nothing

.20 is a fun caliber in Weihrauch. Worth a dabble. I love it.

HW80 says, "heck yeah, get in my belly." Holes in holes, cloverleafs, and good fit to bore. Equally good as the JSB in .20 of nearly the same weight.

Nothing. H&N and JSB are my favorites. I pay for excellent pellets for my special air rifles.

Accurate in magnum-class air rifles. They don't fly off on you. They stick good at distances of 40-80 yards. I love 'em. : ) happy camper face.

These thing are accurate and hard hitters.

It would be nice if these were cheaper, but they wouldn't be as good.

Pellets shouldn't be cylinders.

The best .20 I've found for my Beeman R9. Accurate and hard-hitting. Good, snug fit in the breech without deforming the pellet.

Like the others have said, a 500 round tin would be nice.

They shoot well in my C9As.

Offer 500 count tins.

Very accurate pellet, H&N quality in what is becoming a scarce pellet to find, .20 cal.

Nothing, in this pellet, but maybe H&N can diverse into more weight/grains?

There are a few more .20 cal pellet choices on the Internet, if you own a .20 cal gun, find the most accurate pellet for it!!

I don't like it. You're very limited on ammunition for 20 caliber which is idiotic a 20 caliber should have the same ammo the 177 has.

Better ammo choices and more ammo choices for 20 caliber

Stand for your rights to hunt

When shooting .20 cal. pellets the choice is very limited. Feel blessed that H&N decided to make the .20 cal. pellets. They have a very good reputation and they shoot very well in my Airforce Condor SS. Like the fact that they are Round Nose that seems to be the best all around design accrete hard hitting. I use these for pest most of witch are 18 yds. But the 60 yd pest need controlled too and they do the job. Like the over all shape and long skirts. Not much sense of shooting if you can't hit what you are shooting at and I can with H&N

Not much, good quality shoots well no real problems glad to have them in the system. Price point compared to other offers.

Shot Benjamins in a Blue Streak for years they did a good job. The 1970 rifle got tired and my "Fix" turned out to be a disaster not a fix RIP Blue Streak. Changed to the PCP Airforce Condor SS .20 Cal. with plans to use the Benjamins but they were to loose and would fall out. Hitting a soft ball at 20 yds proved to be on the good side. Called around for help, advice given H&N or JSB both shoot very well in the Airforce. Benjamins should do well in their rifle but not in Airforce. H&N is a excellent choice

This H-N .20 cal. is working just fine for me at a cost I can afford. I am not using this to hunt so I can't rate it for that purpose. Pyramid has made it even more affordable to enjoy with the buy 3 get 1 . I am glad that this caliber is still available albeit from a European maker .

I would like to see a bulk package offered , from any supplier. I prefer to buy American when-where I can but , price , price , price.

I have ordered several times from Pyramid and the shipping-packaging has been AAA+. And the delivery time is exactly as they state it will be . I am very satisfied .

Good replacement for crosman premier .020 14.3's had to reduce fps 970 to 925 still good longer range performance 750fps 50yds. Very clean & consistent.

Would like 14+ gr. 500count tins.

They are fairly long Ok in my Rapid 12 mag, was surprised .020 cal pellets getting harder to get haven't bought any in years, will be stocking up on these. .

good pellet

none

These pellets really engage the rifling. Front and back of pellet. They are for an R9, and I find them the most accurate and hard hitting.

Of course these are H&N, so they are pricey. So maybe 300 for the same price? I honestly have had good results with JSB in other calibers, and their .20 is a better deal, so maybe I try them. Otherwise, the Baracudas are highly reliable.

Comparing these to Gamo pellets is a great contrast. I think Gamo has some decent deals with their rifles, but if they do not clear up there quality control on pellets, they should stop making them. Whereas the Baracudas make full use of the rifling, the Gamo Pro Magnums do not. Short skirts send the Pro Mags all over the place. Was excited about the Pro Mags and gave good review, since they are like lead Raptors, but later had to amend it because of the too frequent wild shots. The econo Excite line is better than Gamo pellets! Excite Hammers rock! These Baracudas do well in my R9 with a peep sight: tight groups and crushing power that shoots through thick soup cans. One shot one kill on the pests I hunt.

Uniform, good looking pellet. Ten shots at 20 yards; 3 shots touching in the "10" ring, 4 shots in the "9" ring with 1 pair high touching, 1 pair low center-left cutting "8" ring line touching. Last 3 shots spread low center-left in "7/6" ring. While a overall 2+ inch group, some acceptable grouping seen. Not the pattern I expect in a go to pellet.

All pellets should have 500 count tin an option.

Shots taken slowly from bench rest.
