H&N Field Target, .177 Reviews

They seem to be very well made, like just about anything available from H&N. I guess it's the lighter weight, or maybe even the shorter length (?), but I've had some trouble with accuracy using these pellets in both .177 and .22 caliber; the only pellets EVER to give me such trouble in any of the variable pumpers and CO2 airguns making up the majority of my almost thirty airgun collection. Due to breakers always shooting at max warp speed, I'm leery of tryin' these at all in my fancy Norica ZRS or cheapo Umarex gas piston air rifles.

More weight and LOWER COST.

I don't like them at all -- YMMV, of course. I might not be able to use up the tins I bought to try them, so I certainly have no need to buy more. Caveat emptor.

Accurate and consistent through Umarex 10/22 CO2 rifle and crossman legacy 1000, in calm winds with CHEAP 7x tasco scope I have managed to stack holes at 65 yards (190+ feet). Does better than other lead frees I have tried so far through both.

High Price; they're Nice pellets And I'm trying to be considerate of my neighbors (easily available areas that make unobstructed lanes with low elevation changes present potential beyond target risk for firearms) and nice to my yard and anywhere things might later be growing to eat, but the price starts to rival rimfire ammo

Stock up during ammo deals or when expecting to meet free shipping requirements. Once you get these dialed in for a chosen distance/conditions the consistency you can hit targets with can be addictive. I burned through the first tin so fast I had to scold myself!

Very accurate in DW 715, 4" and 2.5"

For the CO2 guns is O.K.

Just harder than lead. Need to be soft more.

so far nothing yet.

I was interested in the "No Lead Option" and that was a positive in my area.

When I had bought a couple of tins I saw that they were recomended for only PCP arms. Since I don't have any, I thought that this had been an error on my part, but they do work well in my single pump pneumatic arms. I will not use them in the spring piston arms.

I think that any restriction on pellets should be made very clear, before ordering.

I like these pellets being lead free. Great for indoor shooting. Very accurate!

The high price is the only thing I would like to see change.

Shooting lead free is The healthy way to go. The extra cost is well worth it.

They look good.

They are too big. Dont fit in my pistols.

They are too big!

Seal on the tin, quality of pellet condition

Make these in a 7 grain version

Accuracy in my P17 at 30 feet was very good. I think I would need to change from off-hand to resting on a shooting bench if I really want to push the limits on these

Easy availability. Lead free.

Accuracy. These failed badly out of both my Vigilante and 2300KT with Lothar Walther match barrel. If for some reason you do not want to damage the bullseye, these are the pellets for you!

In defense of the design, the .22 caliber version works well in my 2240 (see my review). The .177 version? On a 10m indoor range, these fly all over the map out my of 2300KT and Vigilante. Can't blame "lead-free": 3 other lead-free pellets work at competition levels out of the same guns: H&N Match Green 5.25 gr wadcutter, Predator GTO 5.5 gr wadcutter, and GTO 6.79 gr domed. The heavier GTO 6.79 gr needed a dot sight adjustment as was expected. I am reluctant to down-rate a pellet because it won't work in my gun(s). But failure in 2 guns when 3 other pellets perform spectacularly is proof enough for me.

Great price. Ammo pretty accurate

These are very clean, not greasy, easy to handle. Pretty accurate out of the M17. Haven't used them in any rifles.

They are very hard. When shooting steel they do not deform much and I believe if they targets where not tilted down they may recache.

They are what they are. Decide for yourself if these have the characteristics that you're looking for.

Lead free. Shoots fast out my 1077 wildfire. They are accurate too. I've only shot them out of 1077. Very uniform.

More per tin. A little expensive.

This is not the product you will receive. You will receive a slightly different product. The specs. are the same except the weight in now 5.71gr. NOT 5.56gr. The can art work is different. No big deal except for the additional text "For PCP rifles only". According to H&N's websight they no longer manufature the pellet as a 5.56gr weight. To make sure this was not a mistake in PyramydAir's catalog I ordered that same pellet from Wal-Mart (the 5.56 Grains) and received the new 5.71 Grains as well. This small weight difference does effect the velocity performance in my Co2 Pistols and revolvers which is noticeable when I tested with my Chrony. My wish is to see the product information and image updated in PyramydAir's website. A little pricey at $.04 per pellet for plinking but good for targrt shooting. Overall a good choice for a green pellet. I get great performance in my Beretta PX4 storm pistol with and avg. velocity of 404.9 FPS.

Update the Specifications for this product.

The still worked well in my collection of Pellet pistols and revolvers. Just less enegery than the orginal (5.56gr) pellets.

-great accuracy... in a pistol -lead free

-weight - maybe 6.4g instead? -price, just like all lead free pellets.

These are not for airguns over ~1000fps, they tumble midair alot and cause great inaccuracy. For a pistol or rifle under that fps, these work great and are actualy pretty accurate. Id recommend these despite the one issue.

Fastest, lightest accurate pistol pellet I've found, very hard and ideal for piercing cans, old baking pans and other sheet metal targets. Magnum spring pistols can typically shoot these accurately at 600+ FPS. CAUTION: Like all hard pellets, THESE FREQUENTLY RICOCHET. Use eye protection and care. Lead-free as a bonus, they are very clean to handle and shoot.

Cost is high.

Good consistency and accuracy in my Ruger Mark1 700fps breakbarrel pistol. Also terrific penetration compared to much heavier but same shape pellets like the H&N Barracuda Power. No lead to handle and seem to seal very well in the barrel.

Cheaper, of course, if I could get the same consistency.

Great all-around pellet.

They are a very accurate pellet in my Crosman model 1377. At 10 yards the groups are consistently well under a 1/2 inch.

More pellets for the price.

I was searching for an accurate green pellet and this oune did not disappoint. Consistent accuracy with the various assortment of my air rifles. Wished I would have ordered these much earlier in my air gun career.

Of course price.

Surprisingly and my Walther LGV they will hold a bit under an inch at 50 yards quite often

Make them cheaper .

The ballistic coefficient of this pellet seems to be very similar to The Standard field Target trophy and chair gun ballistics will track this pellet just fine

Outstanding pellet for the Beeman R7. I can hit small water bottles at 60 yards offhand. The light weight reduces drop which improves longer shot accuracy. Shoots as well as the lead version in my gun. My hands stay clean which is a bonus in the field. I'm still undecided on hunting effectiveness as I had two squirrels with head shots run away. I'm sure they died but the lack of expansion does not kill as well as lead.

Cheaper

Won't work in most CO2 action air pistols because it will stick in the barrel. Use lead only.
