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

They good in my Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper.

Put more in the tin

They are a very nice pellets

These are a perfect pellet for my Rob Hawkins tuned .177 RWS Diana 34 TO6. The best pellet match for my Diana is the “Baracuda Match”. The” Baracuda Hunter” has the exact same point of impact. No changes to my scope with this pellet what so ever. I was absolutely amazed how these two pellets matched up. My pellet quest with this rifle has come to a satisfactory end!

Like many other reviewers, why not have 500 in the tin for the same price?

These have a slight but not too firm resistance when inserted in the breech. All the pellets I have shot so far have been clean without bent skirts and no flyers. I appreciate the screw type tins as well. Pyramyd Air’s packaging, sales and service are first rate! I also purchased the “Baracuda Hunter Extremes” which were MUCH less accurate in my Diana 34. As many of us know each airgun is unique with regards to its preferred pellet. Airguns of identical make and model will prefer different pellets. If you’re in the market for a high quality hunting pellet that may be suitable in your airgun, make this pellet one of your candidates.

These pellets are awesome for hunting,good impact great knockdown power,my rws 350 magnum loves these very accurate even at long distance!

Lower the price,500 count tins

What I found with pellets is if they fit snug in the barrel there more accurate,if there to tight that's not good either,also every gun is different so you have to find your guns favorite pellet.

I'm using these pellets in an Airforce Condor, and they are at their best at around 800 to 950 fps. I like the smaller hole hecause it seems to not drift as much. This pellet dose a great job on small to medium size pests.

I would not change one thing.

If you are having trouble with the H&S 10.34 match pellet shooting small groups, try these. They fly a little strighter with no spiraling.

Great shape and one helluva heavy hitting pellet. Got these particularly for their weight because my magnum springer tens to break the sound barrier with lighter pellets. Another reason I bought these were for my raccoon problem I have on my property with damages ran me close to $7,500! First raccoon after adjusting for the weight, right below and to the left of the ear on the left side @ 32yrds. That thing died the second it hit and only had a few kicks from the hind legs. Definite killer pellet for pests. For a lead pellet, these are VERY clean. I always wash my pellets prior to use, but instead of gray water one might find with Crosman--albeit I am a Crosman fan--the water showed no sign. Very few damaged pellets, I do believe I only discarded 6 out of 250. Groups well (US nickle size) at 50yds.

Nothing at all.

If you have a non-magnum rifle, or don't have a good pump, this round might not be for you beyond 25yds. It is heavy and heavy hitting. It mushrooms nicely on solids, so if you are going for a clean head shot, this will do the damage. Take in account its weight when shooting though, so get a couple tins of these. First tin to get your bearings, the other to hunt. I am buying 4 more of these babies.

Good hunting pellet, shoots good out to 75yards and makes a good pop when hitting squirrels.

none.

accurate!

The best of the best! Well made and distortion free! Excellant stopping power where others have fallen short!!!

Not a thing!!!

You can waste your time trying others, but I bet you'll come back to this pellet for small critter hunting!!! These are AWESOME in a nitro-piston rifle!!!

good you will get a flyer about 3 out 50

Incredible consistency. Under a microscope (35X zoom), I couldn't see any flaws in the pellets. Expands incredibly well; when fired into clay the pellet deformed into a perfect ring, as if it rolled back onto the skirt! Incredible energy transfer for a 4.5mm pellet. These things are heavy enough to fly fairly straight on a windy Michigan day; I was actually struggling to stop myself from overcompensating!

Decrease the diameter a tiny bit. Can be a tight fit on some guns.

On my guns, these were a *very* tight fit; I got a blister trying to push these flush into the bore. These also hit extremely hard compared to standard 7.9gr pellets, so check your backstop often for extra wear!

Good consistent pellets, very accurate and hard hitting hunting pellet.

Wish it had a screw on lid, and maybe more pelets would be useful instead of 200 it should be 250

the tin is small

seem to be good pellets, but turned out to be a bit heavy for my air rifle

Everything

Nothing

These are Accurate! They shoot awesome on my Gamo silent stalker igt. Expansion is all you could want for a .177 pellet. I squirrels at 25~30yds.and drop them like they've been hit with a .22 They have a slightly flatter nose than the Beeman Kodiak Hp. Buy these you'll love them!!

Extremely accurate in my Gamo silent stalker igt.

More per tin and a screw on lid

Shooting off a cushion without a steady rest I can keep 10 shots in a half dollar target not to bad for a 63yr old. Not quite as steady as I used to be. Awesome pellet for squirrels, and other small game.

Consitent Groupings 10-30 yards. Uniform size.

Would love a 500 pellet tin.

This pellet gives me consistent groupings at 10-30 yards. I have a Gamo Whisper Classic Nitro as well as a Gamo Big Cat. The Whisper fitted with the Nitro Piston handles this heavy pellet well. Pellets fit snug.

Great pellet for small game/pest. Groups well on paper. Another well made and consistant product by H&N

Nothing, it is what it says it is.

They are OK. I am entirely unsure that the trivial amount of expansion a pellet can deliver at subsonic speeds is meaningful in the larger scheme of penetrating organs piercing lungs and interrupting body function. In rifle loads the bullet delivers meaningful hydroshock largely (if not entirely)because of the supersonic speed.

The price. Match quality pellets for F&T is a bit excessive.

I didn't see a meaningful delta between the accuracy or effectiveness between the spendy H&N and JSB Exact Heavy domed.

Accuracy & distance.

Screw lid.

Good hunting pellet.

Excellent pellet to try out for only $6.50 per tin. I know you only get 200 pellets but they are very high quality. These shot to almost the same poi as the Barracuda Power coppers and I didn't have to change scope settings even out to 25 yards.

Nothing to change at all. This is a very good pellet and one of the first hollow points I have ever had group this well.

Past 25 yards my groups really opened up compared to the kodiaks and barracuda powers. Maybe it is just the hollow point design compared to the round nose but something to be aware of. For 25 yards and under this is an excellent hunting pellet. I am shooting these out of a Crosman Nitro Venom.

good weight and very accurate at range with enough impact energy to pop a hole through 5/8 sheetrock at 40 yards from my 850 air mag.fit the clip and feed flawlessly.

would have liked a bit bigger and deeper hollowpoint but that might have thrown accuracy off

BUY THESE !good heavy (but not to heavy) hunting pellet for the .177 850 air mag,tightened up my groups (from the 6.9 grain rws hollow point)by 50% at 40+ yards

These pellets look perfect and shoot great in my Gamo Whisper with the Nitro Piston ugrade. A friend of mine had a cheap turkish air rifle that shot all over the paper but when he tried a few of these pellets they shot a group the size of your thumbnail at 15yds.

Nothing....

These pellets are a little pricey but well worth it. They must have excellent quality control because the tin I got all had a blemish free finish. These by far are the cleanest, most uniform pellets I shot so far.
