Page 3 - H&N Baracuda .177, .177 Reviews

whether you want the tightest groupings or you want a deadly hit on pests this is the go-to ammo. reliable and consistent.

screw top is best in my opinion...i travel around with my ammo and don't like to waste time and money on my hands and knees salvaging a spill

it all depends on your gun, barrel harmonics, and velocity, etc...so these may not group the same for a different shooter

Uniform, clean and no damaged pellets. Very accurate for me but that will depend on your gun.

Nothing

Just because they are accurate in my Umarex Surge doesn't mean they'll be accurate in yours. Every air rifle shoots different.

No damaged pellets in either tin, skirts all nice and symmetrical. Pellets are fairly clean & group well.

Bump tin count up to 500 like most other .177's & a more secure lid.

I've purchased several other brands of so labeld high end pellets. H&N, as well as Beeman are the only one's that have no type of design to keep lids from easily coming off. IMO I think this is a marketing thing to sell more pellets. PA is great & their buy 3 & the 4th is free is a deal second to none on pellets.

Even though HN pellets are a bit more expensive they are well worth it. I have used other pellets of HN and they are perfect in every respect.

Nothing

Try many different pellets when breaking in an air gun. They more you shot your gun the more accurate it gets. You might have to shoot your gun 500 to a 1000 times to discover what the gun can do.

They work great out of my Walther lgv master altra , 5 shots group measuring .388 at 30+ yards the avg 768fps sd5 they hit dead center.

Offered them in a 500 tin

Tried a tin, they work great out of my HW50

Everything. I love the heavy skirts. Heavy skirts = no damaged pellets. I also love that they come in different head sizes, 1mm can make the difference between an okay group and shooting one ragged hole.

Nothing

These things are stupid accurate out of my gun. I've shot 25 different pellets and would consider only 4 of them to be consistently accurate enough to hunt with. Oddly enough, 3 out of those four are made by H&N.

great packaging, clean and so far all the weights seem exact....

wish they would shoot straight in my .177 BSA PCPs

Great in my friends RWS and comically bad with my BSA PCP rifles...groups OVER an inch at 75 feet from a rest indoors (Scorpion and Ultra) Now the .22 versions of this pellet work incredibly well in my BSA T10 but for the BSA PCP riffles in .177 stick with the Crossmans in the box. Not picking on the pellet at all, H&N's have always been great for me just not a good match for the .177 BSA PCP rifles. My .177 BSA's also hate JSB's (my favorite pellets in .22)

The Barracuda product was well packaged and presented exactly how pyramid air marketed it

Nothing

Great product for the price noticeably better accuracy than the crossman brand and fits better inside the break action rifles

These are excellent pellets that seem to be very consistent in shape and size. These are not the most accurate pellets in my guns, but that does not reflect on the quality of the pellets, just the preference of my pellet guns.

They are pretty expensive, but they are excellent quality.

These work great in my RWS 34. If I do my part, they will shoot a ragged hole at 15-20 yds and about 1.5-2" groups at 50 yards. I do some shooting at 75-100 yards, and they still fly true and predictably.

I wish they were cheaper, but you get what you pay for!

these did not shoot worth a crap in my benjamin marauder.

screw on lid

make sure you buy several diffrent kind of pellets, my marauder did not like these

Accuracy and Velocity

Nothing

These pellets are the most accurate and create the most muzzle energy more often than any other pellet when I review an airgun. They have a 4.50mm head size. Do not confuse them with the Baracuda Match. The Match pellets have a 4.51 to 4.53mm head and are neither as accurate or as powerful as the Baracuda.

These give me the best group in my AA S510

Nothing

Fly good and are hard hitting. I like them way better than CPHP's.

Just the darn tin ... the lid keeps coming off too easy

I get the best groups from my Beeman R9 with these pellets.

Only thing I would change would be a 500 ct tin.

Great uniformity and performance. I was able to hold dime size groups at 25 yards and dead center bull at 50 yards with my Gamo Bone Collector Bull whisper rifle. That was the first 50 or so pellets through the rifle so I expect it to get even better with more shooting. This pellet performs great in my rifle.

I think these are a little pricey at $9.95 for 300 count plus shipping. If I could find them in a local store I would buy them there instead of on-line from Pyramyd Air.

Try them. They may be great in your pellet gun as well

Consistent overall quality; weight of pellets does not vary very much; no imperfections; the skirts are not.damaged.

Change packaging to a screw top can.

Shoots extremely accurate in the Newman RX2/Weihrauch 90.

The pellets are very constant with no mold lines. Every pellet seems to fit exactly the same. Decreased lead fouling compared to Crosman primer 10.5 done, and has tighter dime size groups at 20yds. Really packs a punch. Shot through Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk.

Tin design. 500-1250 economy packaging. Price.

All pellets were seated .5mm into the breach

well what an awesome pallet for my Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper IGT, i can honestly hit just over 1.5" group ant 60 yards, YES I SAID 60 YARD, with some adjustments with the trigger, i have killed pigeon with this pallet and this gun at 104 yards with a luky head shot , but upto 70 yards no issues . Really impressed

Price

Best for GAMO silent stalker whisper IGT

I got these pellets with the purchase of my rifle

This pellet did not shoot well from my M-Rod.
