Page 2 - H&N Baracuda Hunter, .22 Reviews

Accuracy is top of the list. These actually group very well and expand quite nicely. They actually can be shot at a higher speed than crow magnums and will break into two separate pieces in a ballistic gel test

As per usual More for less. I used to buy 22 long rifles for less money than pellets cost nowadays. Keep them in stock.

These are pretty clean and don't have a lot of flashing in the bottom of the tin. I like to weigh my pellets if I'm going to shoot targets because there are some times a large difference in weight. These are actually not bad in that regard.

Excellent groups at 25 to 100 yrds in my FX Maverick Sniper. container tops screw on and are secure... no spills. I think Im getting tighter groups with these then the Barracuda Match. Price is competitive in the market.

fair amount of dust in the container

I have my slightly modified Hatsan Flash Pup S (eliminated QE system and added a Donny FL Tanto and custom carbon fiber shroud) tuned to shoot these at 900 fps. With these pellets the gun will shoot 5 shot 1/2" groups at 50 yards. Larger 20 shot groups still come in under an inch. These pellets also offer provide consistent terminal ballistics on European starlings out to 65 yards. Squirrels are no problem out to 45(my personal distance limit on them) and English sparrows, well they have no chance at any distance. These pellets also provide a nice loud audible pop on impact.

I would like to see larger tins and/or a cheaper price. The PA 4 for 3 deal helps but I shoot a lot of these. It is my main pellet.

I have experienced the best results in my gun at under 920 fps. The only pellet my gun shoots more accurately is the 21 grain Barracuda Match in 5.52 headsize and those are nearly lasers at 50!

They hit hard and group well in my son's Air Rifle.

More in the Tin for the same price.

They work good in PCP air Rifles.

Good groups

Great pellets a bit expensive though but not as bad as others. Excellent groups

This pellet performs in my Benjamin and Air Arms PCP air rifles better than the H6N standard pellet.

This pellet is not as accurate as the Air Arms pellets. I am comparing pellet groupings at 67 yards for 10 shots. This may be a very good hunting round but I generally just target shoot.

the "HUNTERS" are an excellent pellet....... worth a try if youve never used them

not much ....great product

if your gun likes them they are consistant

These group very well with my gamo swarm magnum gen 2..

Price is a bit more. (but worth it in my opinion).

I've only used these in my gamo magnum..

These pellets are very accurate, and hit hard. I shot two tins of these today, and I didn't find a single bad pellet.

I wish I would have tried these earlier.

I shoot these out of a .22 caliber Ruger Air Magnum, with a Leapers 3-12x44 etched reticle scope. I mostly shoot from a bench.. These are now my favorite pellet. I thought the Baracuda Hunter Extreme pellets were the best, but I was wrong, my rifle absolutely loves these. If you own a Ruger Air Magnum, you should try these pellets. With my rifle, at 25 yard they punch through 1/2 pine boards with ease. They fit nicely in the barrel, and are relatively clean pellets. They are so fun to shoot, with very few fliers. I shot 400 of these pellets today, and I honestly feel every miss was my fault, not the fault of the pellets

I had been shooting Baracuda Match pellets in my 22 cal. Diana Chaser CO2 pistol. Performance on ground squirrels was good. I tried the Baracuda Hunter and find these to be as accurate as the Match but much more lethal. When using the match pellets, hit squirrels would fall over and then run or crawl away to die unless my shot was to the head. With the Hunter the percentage of 1 shot kills was much higher. Even if the squirrel was able to get under the leaves before I could get to it there was a clear blood trail.

I'm not smart enough to know what to change.

Best pellets I've found so far.

Good accuracy, as expected from all H&N pellets.

nothing

I purchased these for rodent control, but consider the hollow point cosmetic only.

Excellent looking pellets, very uniform, skirts are perfect, all typical of my experience with H&N. Unfortunately my Diana 48 does not like them. My gun likes a 5.54 pellet

A variety of head sizes.

I run my pellets through a Pellet Gage. The PG saves a lot of frustration and gives confidence in a hunting situation that the pellet will go as precisely as possible.

Very accurate in my Gamo Swarm Magnum. 1/2" groups at 25 yards

Nothing

Great hunting pellet

Hits hard and is accurate out of all three of my PCPs.

Nothing so far.......bigger tin maybe.

This is one of my go-to hunting pellets.

They shot very well out of my RWS 48.

nothing

No

hard hitting and more accurate than I am

lower price

Very accurate in my Gamo Urban

I fired about 15 different pellets into homemade ballistic jell. This one and the baracuda hunter extreme were the only ones that expanded.

Very accurate pellet, shoots good. I like the fact that in 177 cal you can buy the smaller tins of this pellet @ 40-42% discount. Can shoot these pellets between 850 to 1050 fps in my flash, novas, bully, sumatras, and Kral pit bulls.

Have them come in different tin counts like the 177 cal which comes in a 200 count and 400 count (IJS)

These are definitely hunting pellets, shooting doves, pigeons, and crows, these pellets leave big exit holes. I would say neck/head shots. Body shots tears big holes in flesh. Stock up on these if you plan on pesting/hunting. 50 yrds and in delivers an accurate hit with power.

Everything, superb quality. Thick skirts. Few damaged pellets. Accuracy in both .22 and .177. Waltger terrus. 177 and both .22 Marauder pcp and Diana 350 magnum (Springer)

Nodda

Really accurate at close range. I don't know how they shoot further than 30 yards.
