Fits well in my Hatsan model 95 and is accurate.

No

well made pellets. so for so good. seem to be doing a great job. as for accuracy; actually just as good as JSB pellets. both daystate huntsman regal and air arms s510 extra fac likes them. no complains

price is what everybody would like to see go down

give them a try

Good flight for this pellet. Very nice hitting power. Seems to fly very true. I have had very small shot groups.

Make some larger tins available.

Worth the extra cost.

the extra weight and the gained accuracy when used in my walther springer air rifles. Small loss of velocity compared to 14 grain pellets but this helped accuracy

would not change anything

German made and of very good quality. Clean and leave almost nothing in the barrel.

I got a couple extra in each can. They probably use a scale in automation to fill the cans. These and the rabbit Magnum all have a date code of 34346.

Well they didn't quite weigh 18.13. I measured them in groups of 10 and the average 17.85. that's probably why there's an extra 10 or so in the can. There's probably nothing that they would change and maybe a different lot on a different day might be a little different and only time will tell.

I love the way they put the amount of energy that you need as a minimum for these to work properly. That is listed in joules and is 16 so in ft/lbs that's @ 12. So they really only have to go about 600 ft per second at a minimum. If you can adjust your power and keep them between 825 and 880 ft per second you should have very very accurate shots.28 to 30 foot pounds is more than enough for rabbits and squirrels. I haven't been out to the range yet but I have seen some YouTube videos that they're shooting at 100 yards but for ethical hunting I think 50 or 60 yards should be just fine.

More consistent weight then other big names. Weighed contents of entire tins and found variance of one grain up or down from stated weight. Almost 75% of the pellets in tin were stated weight. Just as accurate too, checked at 100 yards and gave the same under inch groups.

Nothing!

I put a few drops of silicone lube in container and gently rotated to lube pellets.

Good Consistency worked well and both my rifles

They shoot amazing just as good as jsb packaged great shipped in 2 days

500 count tins

Dont hesitate to buy these

Works very well in my Beeman Commando.

Larger Tin.

Quality, shape, feeding into the breach, The screw on lid!! Out of the the 2 .22cal rifles I have, this pellet seems to be a winner. It seems that its an match for the JSB pellet of the same weight. (18.13 gr. ) Shoots true and I get (when I do my part) 3/16" groups at 10 yards with my Steel Eagle and one hole the size of the pellet 10 shot group with my Marauder F&T. Now I have 2 to choose from when one is out of stock I just grab the other.

not a thing.

Just try them, they are well made and shoot well out of my rifles. If you shoot the JSB 18.13gr pellets you owe it to yourself to give these a try.

Screw lid

Nothing

If ordering size 5.52 you don't size 5.52

These pellets shoot just a accurately out of my Avenger .22 as the 18.13 gr. JSB pellets. I like the screw-on lids.

Have tins of 500 each with screw -on lids.

Since the lead alloy is different the the JSB pellets a few shots will need to be fired to get the accuracy to settle in before evaluating the H&N pellets accuracy.

screw lid on tin

larger amount of pellets per tin.

I'am using these pellets in my Benjamin Akela. Shooting at 30 yd targets 5shot ragged hole, poi is about 3/4 in higher then when shooting the JSB EXACT jumbo heavy diabolo 18,13gr. The H&N pellets seem to have less coating, less mess on fingers when loading mags. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. Hope this helps.

The JSB pellets that shoot best in my rifle have been back ordered for months so I gave these a try. I found they shoot almost as well and cost a bit less. The tins have a screw on lid.

Some of the pellet skirts were not round. It would be better if they would put a foam pad on the top and the bottom of the tins.

These are worth a try.

They seen to be accurate and consistent

Nothing

I typically use JSB pellets and these shot nearly identical.

Shape and weight the same as JSB 18gr just a little harder alloy but my RAW HMx LRT has the same accuracy and POI with these.

Not anything I can think of.

They are JSB 18gr clones with H&N lead alloy.

Great ammo

None

None

These 18gr. pellets are very accurate out of my FX Maverick, they group .75 in. @ 75yds. This makes them from now on my go to pellet! I will be buying more.

Need to put more pellets in the tins (250) - (500) would be GREAT.

Get Some.

I have tried different makes and weights of pellets in my airventure Avenger .22 cal. and they all shot well but the H&N 18.13 shot the best. the gun loved them. 10 shots at 20 yards at rest, a hole in a hole The best pellet I have tried.

nothing

Try them you will like them.

Availability, as accurate as JSB, perfect weight for hunting. Screw on lid.

Nothing

Please dont hoard these so others can get this hard to find weight.
