Page 8 - H&N Baracuda Hunter, .22 Reviews

These are very good pellets. They group well for me. The only ones I've found more accurate than these are the coppa spitzugle 16g.

They are more costly than my favorite ones by a bit, so value takes a hit.

Power and accuracy are tops in my 9 different pellets shot so far

See that out of stock sometimes but now I know why.

These have been most consistent pellet from first shots to my last shots.. if scope loosens, I have it zreoed back in within 3-4 shots with this pellet..

Stock Marauder, Most accurate hunting pellet I've tested. Got these as a "free fourth tin" and what a score. My new favorite.

More pellets per tin.

Holy cow these hit hard and expand. Almost on par with Crow Magnums with much, much, greater accuracy and better penetration. .15" group, 5 shots at 17 Yards. Velocity important for expansion, tested at 800fps. See pics for expansion example.

THWACK. Hard hitting and surprisingly accurate.

nothing

At 30 yds. these have the squirrels doing sumersaults.

they are good shape

more in a tin like 500

this pellects shoot good in my maruder an my condor an man the hit hard an make nice size hold

Consistant accuracy; very hard hitting pellet.

Not sure? Sell for half as much! :)

No

killing effect

I have been using these pellets with a Hatsan 95 and have had great success in thinning out the horde of raccoons infesting our garden and patio. These pellets appear to do the trick. Between 30 and 50 yards, I have a 50% kill-ratio, with, as to the smaller raccoons, a one shot/one kill result. With those that aren't killed with one shot, most are usually wounded enough to be finished off with the next one. Great ammo for what I use it for: varmint elimination.

From my 22 cal MRod. These hold very tight groups out to 45 yards, and they have the exact same POI as the 18 grain JSB's. So far I've taken 2 crows at 30-40 yards, 5 tree rats, and 4 starlings.

Nothing

I clean all my pellets. 3 washings with dish soap, rinse / dry, and then spray with some all purpose lube, pat dry and put back on the tin.

Consistent and tight. M-rod at 22-28 yards with UTG 3-9x40 scope. Not quite as good as Meisterkugeln but heavier and a quality product. In my top 3 favorites for this gun along with Benjamin Discovery. Better response than the slightly heavier Barracuda Match.

Not much. Would love to fill that cross head with with powder for a giggle!

These are really high quality pellets and have excellent expansion. They are a great fit for my Summatra's circular magazines. Great for hunting, but may be to much for rabbit sized game. If you need stopping power these pellets are the way to go.

A bit pricy, but after all you get what you pay for. I would like to see a 250 count tin of these pellets.

I can attest that these pellets are a great match for the tollerances found in the Sumatra engineering.

Good idea works good on small game

Make them heavier

Worked just ok in my .22 marauder, but have not played with the power settings.

Nice weight, well formed, accurate shoot really well @ 25yds. Plus, they have a screw top tin.

500 count tins

I really like these hollow points. Their unique head gives great expansion. I haven't had a chance to shoot them out beyond 25yds yet, but when I do, I'll re-write a review to let you know

These pellets are clean and uniform. They fit in my 350 P RWS/Hatsan 125 22 cal perfectly. They are accurate and consistent.

Nothing

I'm not a target shooter. I seldom shoot paper except for the sight in. I shoot small medicine bottles, etc. I can hit those at 50 yards with a good rest. Works for me.

Consistency of patterning at longer ranges over 30 yds, nice tight groups out to 50 yards where "some" the pellets seem to begin to tumble a bit out of my RWS 350. The screw tin and its quality is good. The uniformity of the pellets and thicker skirt saw very few flyers.

The grooves in head of the pellet could be cut shallower to allow for a better ballistic efficient; Actually if the groves were 1.5mm deep and cut as an equilateral triangle the BC would increase dramatically yeilding better down range accuracy and FPE.

Beware of your downrange shooting area. Inspecting my area after each shooting session, found these pellets embedded up to 2 inches into my 4'x'4, 6"thick cardboard backstop set at 110 yards while shooting with my RWS 350.

Quality. Shots well in all my guns. Pellets are well inspected no damaged skirts.

Pricey.

Wow, these things pack a punch! Couldn't sleep the other night and decided to do some ballistics testing(dont ask). When fired through a 1" board these things have amazing expansion! I was testing Eun Jin's and CPHPs as well. Haven't got to thoroughly test ranged accuracy, but these have been spot on up to 35yds for me.

More in a tin, less money for said tin...

If you are using a gun with enough umph to really make these things expand, then definitely give em a shot. My Ruger Air Magnum loves em

Accurate through my .22 Marauder pistol. Appeared to be clean and uniform. Nice wound channel on a squirrel I had taken.

Maybe have the weight between 16-18gr.

H&N has it down when it comes to quality pellets.

Hmmm, let me see. Yes, I would put more pellets in a tin that stays closed.

They are a great spin on the conventional hollow point pellets. The skirts are soft soft so if used in a springer they reshape enough to help accuracy. Although a destroyed skirt is still hopeless.

Nothing

A premium pellet that shoots exceptionally well in most things. The soft lead also makes this a great hunting pellet. On your target instead of passing threw it deforms so it gives maximum shock on target.

Great products
