H&N Field Target, .22 Reviews

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.

Light weight.22 pellets

Price

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!

I like the description: dome, weight, and velocity, it shot well in my .22 caliber Umarex Octane, Benjamin Summit, and my Umarex Gauntlet-2 pcp.

Nothing. I bought this pellet for its description.

I did a 3 shot chronograph shooting my .22 caliber Umarex Gauntlet-2. The results were: 1143, 1140, and 1140 fps. All shots fired broke the sound barrier. I shot a 6 shot accuracy test at 85 feet at a 12x10 box with a 3 inch Birchwood Casey stick on Target Spot. 5 out of 6 shots hit the 3 inch circle target. The 3rd shot barely missed. I had to approach the target to verify that it was a miss. No fliers. I recommend the .22 caliber pellet, and will purchase again. Get a chronograph. WoodysWorld.

Accurate , consistent size , no damaged pellets in tin

The weight

Tried these in my gamo magnum ( I know for pcp )Shot 15 rounds and everyone of them cracked the sound barrier. GTO at 11.75 were no problem . Shot great in my Roger impact . Lower power rifles ok but not a magnum

This is a light weight pellet. I like its ease of use in a Benjamin Marauder Pistol, loads well into the magazine, not everything does. Very accurate in this Pistol At 766 fps, I got 6 rounds into a 0.5 inch group. This was shot from an initial pressure of 2700 psi.

Would be nice if I could get lead free for a lower cost.

If you break the speed of sound with these it does not work out so well. At that speed, heavier is better. With my Walther Reign UXT .22 caliber, at 200 bar pressure I got a muzzle velocity of 1151 fps. At 20 yards I got a "real tight" 2.5 inches. If you want to shoot lead free from a more powerful rifle try the H&N Barracuda Green. At 200 Bar I got 1005 fps and a group size of .73 inches.

Nice clean pellet. Shot it out of my Benjiman Trail NpXl1100. It chronograph out at 1046fps on an average for 10 shots. It is not the most accurate in my gun. To fast actually. It was the most consistent with a standred deviation of 2

Nothing

Nice clean pellet but maybe to fast for best accuracy in a magnum .22 break barrel air rifle.

Increased FPS to flatten a trajectory. Good flight and consistent groups.

The composition is hard. Makes chambering difficult.

The O.D. might work well in your breech, just tight in my HW barrel.

clean ammo ,well uniformed shoots really well with my gamo swarm maxxim and 2240XL+Tko @20 yards. excited to try these in my gamo swarm magnum g2 will give a better update when i purchase a chorno

Have Fun :)

I like this pellets very much... Because u get great accuracy and a great Fps velocity because of its weight !!!

Nothing !!!

Great performance pellet, highly recommend if u looking for speed and accuracy !!!

they are very fast and spot on target

the price lol a bit pricy but they are good pellets

gas magnum guns these are ok but a springer magnum i can't tell you because i don't own one, YET

Very accurate indoors 10yds 16 shot group .312 c/c

Make a little cheaper

Accurate, flat-shooting, easy to load. Very clean in the tin

Heavier version

The perfect 'standard' that I can tell people about. In my area, there's a lot of anti-lead shot concerns

the product was good for a alloy pellet. shot straight at close range. haven't tried at longer range yet.h&n seems to be one of the most consistent pellets when it comes to weight.

nothing as far as the pellet goes

shipping cost was ridiculous. over $10.00 for something that weighed less than a quarter of a pound. and no special shipping. I dought I will ever buy from them again for that reason.

Great pellet, size and weight and uniformity is spot on. Great on little rodents, while using my 1322.

Lager quantity

You should definitely give theses a try.

these are good,,HELLISHLY EXPENSIVE,But good, real good, the containers in NZ say ,for PCP rifles only, what a joke, these are awesome in a gas ram or magnum springers No shit!!!

make them cheaper

give a can of them a go, you will be surprised , and on small game ,Rabbits for me in Otago NZ ,fucking thousands of them!, these are lethal accurate pills

Well packed as usual.

The weight is great for a not so powerful air rifle

A little bit lighter and lower the price and shipping some

Excellent accuracy

nothing

Lead free! I am able to get very tight groups. Lead free! The cans I got say "PCP only", but they work really well in my 2240. Did I mention they are lead free? I'm really happy to find an excellent alternative to lead.

High cost. I'm sure the manufacturer is not price gouging. I think in terms of total cost to shoot. For my 2240 - $.50 for the CO2 cartridge, and $3.40 for enough of these to expend the CO2 - for $3.90 total. If I burn through 10 CO2 cartridges for the day, and a corresponding 2 cans of pellets, that's about $39, plus range fees. Your mileage may vary. As of this writing, the Meisterkugeln wadcutters and less than $.04 each and these are $.085 each. It adds up.

I zeroed in my red dot sight for Meisterkugeln wadcutters - ~14 grains and way different shape. I thought these would present a problem. But they actually form better groups with no sight adjustments at all. In my pellet trap I see no pellet deformation. In fact, they look so good, I considered using them again. The lead wadcutters hit the steel plate in the trap and are smashed into a flat blob. I thinking almost no penetration for these as the curtains in the trap stop them unscathed. So you can factor that into your plans for usage.
