H&N Baracuda Hunter, .177 Reviews

Nothing: I bought 400 of these pellets about a month ago. Many of them won't fit into my Winchester 1000. I am not happy with the pellets or with the Pyramydair's LACK of customer service.

Revisit HnN's commitment to quality control. I would want to find out how quality control for these pellets failed so badly. I might have gotten a bad batch. But Pyramydair has not been responsive at all to my emails.

There were a few pellets that were able to fit in my rifle. They worked phenomenally. But no one should have to keep digging into a new canister of Pyramydair pellets to find ones that work in your gun.

I've run through about 1200 of these. HW 97K, HW35E love them.

Some guys don't like the accuracy on these. I find them to be really sporty. They hit hard, occasionally you get a flyer, but most hunting ammo will do that. Hit the varmint right with these, and they won't be stealing grain any more. : ) Weihrauchs like these, and I had a 350 compact Dianawerks that gobbled them down too. No complaints here. HAPPY CAMPER : )

This series of pellets from H&N has earned it's reputation and these are a very good hunting option, especially in rifles that like the heavier pellets or at longer ranges.

Not much to change in a standard hollowpoint pellet. Good fit and finish and no deformations that I've seen so far.

Do some testing with less expensive options to see what your rifle "likes" before you spend the money on these. For the cost, it's quite possible that your rifle will do just as well with Crosman round nose 10.5 grains or the Beeman 8.5 grain hollow points. After you've done that testing to be sure your rifle needs this combination of design and weight, then spend the money.

The HP design. The weight ((my 2 tins of 200 identifies these as 10.34 grains), Accuracy and velocity. Pricing is par.

I tested these for accuracy and velocity in 57 degrees: sunny and clear, no wind. Shot these a 2 inch round RangeMaxx stick on target at 90 measured feet, shooting my Umarex Octane non no-shox air rifle. After re-zeroing for this pellet, it consistently hit within the 1 inch inner circle. No fliers. Chronograph: 884, 880, 888, 891, and 885 fps, averaging 885 fps. I do recommend this pellet for hunting, as well as targeting. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

Great pellet and very accurate. The skirts were pretty much all the same and the fps was pretty good with all my testing at 15 yds around 1079 fps average with my Hatsan Flashpup. I had a 3/8 inch shot group. Very accurate for me.

This round is perfect for over 1000 fps platforms. Good long range accuracy and hitting power. Good for hunting. Worth buying.

Clip and break barrel friendly.

ACCURACY

PRICE (LOWER)

ACCURATE PELLET, SHOOTS GOOD, PRICY FOR 177 BUT THEN SO ARE ALL 177 CAL PELLETS BUT YOU GET A LITTLE MORE CONSIDERING THE SIZE OF 177 CALS

Preliminary testing at 12 yrds. seems very promising , very tight groups with majority pellet on pellet . Hoping they do as good at 25-30 yrds , that being the distance of a high percentage of the shots I take on small game .

Nothing really . If I wanted them to be different , I would purchase another brand or type .

I bought my first springer about seven years back or so , a Crosman TR 77 . Being new to the airgun realm , I brought with me quite a bit of powder burner knowledge . I assumed that this particular pellet was ; too heavy , with a poor BC rating due to the hollow point design , so I passed on this style for a round nosed pellet .THEN , more recently I purchased my first PCP in 22 cal . Long story short , the Baracuda Hunter is my go to hunting pellet . It did so well , I HAD to try them in the TR 77 . Will you experience the same results ? Maybe , maybe not . But you will never know if you don't try them . Hope this helps . Bill R.

A well placed round will ensure dinner on the table

Better for magnum Springer or pcp

I have a Crossman Optimus break barrel and these pellets are the ones for it. I tried other lighter pellets and they were all over the place. With these, at about 30- 35 yards, my rifle is spot on. It is a tack driver. Either with open sights or with my UTG red dot it is really a tack driver. Hope they work as good in your rifle.

Was very happy with the service I got from Pyramyd Air. The gun I purchased for my husband for Christmas was not the one he wanted and Pyramyd Air help him to pick out the right one and get it to him in record time and giving it to him for the purchase price of the old one. I'm very happy with the service and would buy from them again.

Accuracy, Energy, Long distance capabilities.

500 count instead of 400

Worth every penny, I hunt rabbits and Dasyprocta punctata in south america, one shoot dead right there every time at 40 yards maximum distance, same in pest control.

The shape, the weight, the quality and the accuracy. These worked very well in my Vantage NP and the groups were less than dime size at 25 yards.

Screw on lid is all.

These pellets are very good, remember that each Airgun even on the same make & model will shoot differently. With the price and 200 in a tin I recommend giving these a try.
