Page 2 - H&N Baracuda .25, .25 Reviews

Since they changed the can from 200 to 150 I've noticed that weight and consistency has also changed for the worse. I emailed H&N and they swore nothing was changed -total BS!!! (regarding the pellet) and said "they changed Quantity because of the graphic"? Couldn't they just put a new graphic or sticker on the 200ct tin?! These used to be my go-to pellet. I would've gladly paid more money for the 200 count, vs the same $ for less quantity. Especially when your buying 4, or 5 tins, that's 200 less pellets your getting when buying 4 tins!! NEVERTHELESS, I would've still enjoyed 150 count BUT, the weight, and the consistency, and weight from pellet to pellet is not what It used to be. There "ok" but not great as before. I used to do same hole, to clover leaf holes at 30 yards with my .25 marauder. Now If I try, Im lucky to do 1" groups at 30 yards and typically does around 2" groups at 30yds. Thought my gun was messed up till load jsb and Its all smiles and back to 1 hole groups @ 30yds

Bring back quality and consistency of the Barricudas that came In 200 count tins. Night and day difference, and I thought I was crazy or Imagining It. Before they were 31 grains and the weight from pellet to pellet, was much more precise. Old tins Shot better and better value

Stick with Jsb's!! I've got about 5 tins of these new barricudas and I dont even like to Use them for target shooting anymore.

Great value for the price. Pellets fly straight and hits very hard out of my Hatsan vortex springer. Also I like the screw on lids.

Nothing really right now

This product is worth every penny you wont be disappointed

They great knock down power and shoot well drom hastson bullboss .25

I changing 150 per to 200 per can

works great in my at44.25 and my BT65.25cal hole in hole at 25 yards 3\16 at 40 yards hits hard knot down power even at50 yard on raccons at this distent.

nothing

seem like a good idea

shorter so they fit in a magazine.

these do not fit my brocock bantam mags. daystate. mags. also do not work in my fx streamline either.

The brand

Too many dents and dings for todays pellets

good quality hard hitting pellet.

sell in larger quantity tins. 300 0r 350 would be nice.

service is excellent.

Nothing

Good products, prices

In .25cal the 30grain weight is in between the jsb king and the MKII. In theory by weight alone it would be a better secondary pellet for a gun tuned for 34grain MKII pellets.

The barracudas were exactly the right size for my FX impact magazine. The problem is, the way these pellets are made there is excess lead on the ends of the skirts and the rotary mags on both my marauder and impact shaved off this slag. These shavings dirtied up my mag and caused improper feeding and dry fires. Overall, pellets are not as clean as jsbs

I may have just recieved a bad tin. I haven't given up on them yet. I am going to fix the slag issue by rubbing the skirts on a sheet of paper then giving them a wash and a moly lube. Been a long time since i had to do that to a tin of pellets. If this fixes the issue, it does not change my star rating. If they were cheaper i could justify this extra effort and give a higher rating. Good luck

best for my airforce condors

Heavier

theirrrrrr great

It is ok, do not like it too much nor hate it, thinking go back to the 31 grains , I think that is better

Screw top lid as always, saves you the pellet pick up game. Nice thick skirts help keep damage at bay. Seem consistent too in size and shape.

Maybe offer these in some different head sizes as they do in .22. My at44-10 short qe wants to shoot them good but I think they're a little loose in the barrel. First 4 shots all right in the same hole and the other 5 started to scatter. Ended up just over an inch at 42 yards. Not bad but certainly not what I was looking for. Bump it up a head size and these might be pretty darn impressive in my gun.

These seem to be a bit on the skinny side. Maybe a more choked barrel would respond to these well. Had to be careful when loading these into my hatsan mag. Few would want to just fall out.

good shooting pellet, Very tight grouping at 50 yards

shorten them by 4mm so that they will work in an FX wildcat

These pellets are to long for a FX wild cat, They stick out the end of the magazine and wont cycle through the gun.

Well made, consistent, harder lead pellets for better penetration.

Nothing.

These work very well in my .25 Sumatra carbine. Probably one of the most consistently accurate pellets I shoot.

This has been my most accurate bullet for more than fifteen years. I have tried so many more but none are as accurate at all distances like this old standard.

Like to see them offer this in three different weights with their present weight being the middle weight.

These are excellent bullets for high performance guns.

Ive shot about 8 tins of these through my marauder .25 cal, they are extremely accurate and the price is astonishing for such high quality. They come in a nice screw on lid, which is better then the squeeze ons. They are extremely well uniform and precise. Again the price is astonishing. The shape and grain size is perfect and they hit REALLY hard, ive used these at 25yards in backyard, shooting off a rolled up blanket on a table yeilded same hole everytime, to clover leaf holes. There blasting through 3/4 inch plywood and about quarter way into pressure treated 2x6. At 56 yards in really strong winds they still performed fantastic. Still carried enough power to blow apart half inch plywood. Couldnt believe it. Ive tried heavier, eun jins and they werent consistent, and tried others but these are just so much more accurate, consistent, precise. Also theres never a whole lot of lead slag in the tins like other companys pellets.I heard jsbs are great but for price of these, no brainer.

Not a thing, these are my go-to pellet. I recently tried a 49 grain flat point cast BULLET, meant for airguns, from a cast bullet supplier but they didnt fit right so i have to send them back to get them sized correctly or something. Im curious to see how those perform when sized, as well as some cast airgun bullets from another reputable source.

Buy em, my marauder 25. Rifle loves em and so do i.

Very accurate in my Daystate Air Wolf

nothing

Uniform shape, good weight, great impact

Nothing

Good pellet

Everything, solid hitting pellet, consistent build no flaws in the pellets, screw top tin. my go too in .25.

Nothing

I like these better than the Hollow Points in the same brand. The accuracy is a little better but that's just me possibly.

Pretty clean and seem to be uniform.

Larger size tins.

These 31 + grain pellets work well in my Condor SS in .25 They hit hard and seem to group well at 35 yards. I am not sure how well they would do in a springer but for a PCP they are great!
