H&N Silver Point Reviews

Quality pellets. Very accurate in my RWS 350

Nothing

These are good in Magnum springers.

Not really much. My Seneca Aspen and Gamo Swarm Magnum did not shoot these well.

Destroy the die they were made in.

Look at the H&N field target trophy or the barracuda hunter instead of these.

These stubby pells get 14.3 velocity in my 30 ftlb. Springers( hatsan 125 spring, beeman mach 12.5) ! Thumps hard. I use on grackles..body shots. Long range. Grackles near crow size in Texas.

Nothin needs changing. Sharp crack at 30 flbs though. ( unsilenced guns)

Very flat-shooting. The rings catch blow-by evidently..hence high velocity..plus alloy composition helps...I prefer for feathers over fur. Tumbles inside on fat pigeons ..breast bone upsets point...@ 30 yds..gruesome. Much better than 14.3 gr.

My springers are powerful..17 to 30 ftlbs. Beeman Mach 12.5. Hatsan edge spring. Hatsan 125 spring. Benji Prowler gas piston. Beeman rs 2.. This weight is 30-06 150 gr. Versatile. Nit-pickers will like the physical perfection. No damaged pells.( got 2 tins!) Hunting accuracy easily achieved to 50 yds ( my guns) 14.3s have done in a lot of game...but 17 is more sure( to me) at my ranges.

A round head MAY be more accurate at longer ranges..but I dont need to shoot farther. 19 gr seem to be compromise weight for .22 cal. Springers..max efficiency. 21..bit too heavy...17 18 a bit light. So...19 gr. Version.

Multi-groove helps velocity( in MY guns). Alloy soft enough to expand in dense flesh..bone. Your sub 12 ftlb springer..may not perform well with these..they like go-fast!!!

I neglected to take advantage of your offer of four packs of pellets for the price of three. You sent me an extra pack without me even asking. Thank you very much. Pellets arrived quickly and well-packed.

Good weight

Poor accuracy out of gamo whisper fusion mach 1

Look like they would be a good choice for heavier targets

Nothing

Fortitude gen2 .22cal 10 shots in a 8in spread @30yrds May get a better group's with a stronger gun

Dead on @40yrds in my Gamo hornet.

Quantity

Fits very tight in my Gamo hornet

It's an very accurate pellet. But being a little heavier than the standard 14.5 gr. .22, it drops a lot at 35 to 70 yards when shot in my Gamo underlever.

When changing to a lighter pellet I have to zero the scope again for both windage and elevation.

what i like about this pellet is it's design. it just looks tough. i've been shooting these in my benjamin trail np2 .22 cal. and they shoot pretty well . they hit hard and punch through targets like wood and thin metal and seem to be a little more stable than some lighter pellets. not many people talk about how accurate they are, but they seem to be in my rifle at least. i will try these in my new hatsan bt65 qe .22 and see if it likes them or not.

i would like to see them in a choice of heavier weights up to 20- 25 grains for pcp's, and more added to the tin.

they are not supposed to be great for accuracy or distance. just medium rating, but my rifle like 'em. give them a try .

good value

none

no

They're well form,skirts are thick, good combination on weight and shape making them accurate hunting pellets, screw on lead that's a winner,head diameter,shot out of hatsans 125,85,Octane all with authority and power, penetrates a 2" pine plank with my magnums,it looks like I shot the plank with a 22 cal powder burner lol .

a few more in a tin 250 instead 200,little cheaper, make a few different head sizes to have a wider range of guns that likes them and a top and bottom foam pad like polys to avoid pellet damage.

what are you waiting to buy some and go do some can busting lol .

These have real good penetration and excellent accuracy out to 40 meters with open sights. I'm sure that longer shots are possible with a scope. I'm able to make 25 meter shots with my pump up pistol on 3 inch targets . Happy camper here

This pellet shot from a powerful air gun is a lethal combination. I use these in a ruger magnum and they do the same damage as a rim fire. The first squirrel head shot removed 2/3 of its head.

Larger tin

This might be the mid-range pellet that optimizes your gun. Price for product is good. I believe the shape captures and utilizes the expanding air that propels this pellet.

Nothing.

Get the Spitzkugels instead.

It is said that heavier pellets are more accurate and I find this to be true with the H&N Silver Points. They fit in nicely between the RWS Hobby and Jumbo Heavy pellets. Great pellet, great price.

Maybe if they were available in a wadcutter, I would be curious as to their performance. But no complaints here.

These are a welcome addition to any shooters variety. You should always have different pellets available to see which one works best in your air-gun.

Weight and quality

bigger tins

My Crosman 2250b didn't like them but my Beeman springer did

The H&N Silver point's are my favorite to shoot. They are hard hitting and consistantly accurate.

Nothing, they definitely get the job done if your varment hunting of just plinking.

Buy the H&N Silver point, you won't be dissapointed.

Weight, and finally found an air rifle that likes them.

Better quality control...some bent skirts, other imperfections.

Good luck with wringing any accuracy out of these. Over the past 2 years I've tried them in 11 rifles and pistols, CO2, springers and PCP's. Not really accurate until I tried them in my Hammerli Pheuma. Satisfactory, but not quite up to H&N's Barracuda match. Seems to have a "flier" about every 15 shots. Seeing as I bought 10 tins, I'll use them up in casual plinking. I'll reserve the barracudas for serious target, squirrels, and woodchucks.

They frequently start to flip at impact, so they hit very hard. They just destroy many targets I shoot at.

Quality is not as good as most other H&N pellets.
