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

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)

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

In the past 3 years since I started hunting small game with a PCP. I have taken approximately 90 to 100 fox squirrels. I have used the .22 caliber H&N Baracuda Hunter exclusively. All squirrels were taken with 1 shot with a Hatsan AT44-10QE. Ranges were between 20 and 50 yards. This pellet works as well as any .22 rimfire for heavy fox squirrels. Most were taken with head shots but maybe a quarter were also chest shots and those were just as deadly. No squirrel ran after hitting the ground. This is a super accurate pellet in my gun and devastating on small game!

If your gun will shoot these pellets accurately I would highly recommend them for hunting.

Super accurate and hard hitting out of my Gamo Magnum. If you are looking for a great pellet to use in your Gamo Magnum, try these. You won't be sorry you did.

nothing

Tight fit.

Accurate in all my rifles. Good expansion.

Nothing.

These are great for hunting, or if you really want that water filled soda can to rip open!

Great performance on small game out to around 35 yards out of my Xisico Sentry. In my opinion they stop critters better than a 22lr.

Out of my gun these loose a bit of accuracy past 35 yards.

A very accurate pellet in my Gamo Swarm Maxxim.

Nothing

Very nice expansion

Nothing

As accurate as jsb in my fx streamline at 30 yds. Pellet on pellet ,make a nice thwack when they hit vermin

Bigger tin

The barracuda hunter by h&n a well put together pellet

Nothing

Great pellet consistent accuracy is pretty good out of my kral puncher breaker power adjusted to 3/4 scale

I love the fact that the lid is a screw on . Pellets are very clean with no deformity in the pellets. I am shooting a Gamo swarm magnum 22 cal. Rotary 10 round magazine fed and these pellets feed in to the magazine with little effort and load flush in the barrel chamber after each pump without having to check to make sure pellet is flush to prevent damaging the pellet when closing the barrel after cocking it. I am shooting a target at 20 yards and getting good groups too often punching through the same hole and penetrating through my 1inch thick plywood for back drop after hitting the same spot twice. I have taken out raccoons at 26 yards with one head shot at night as the coons feed under my deer feeder. I have gotten no flyers with these pellets, the gamo is ratted at 1300 FPS and using these 18 grain pellets helps out with that kind of velocity making me more accurate and happier with my air guns performance when I need it to count the most.

Wish they came in a 500 count

Great product, you wont be disappointed, I would also like to say pyramid got the product to my house in a very timely matter and was well packaged to prevent any possible damages that might occur during the shipping process, great product at a great price too.

Best pellets for my airgun, a Beeman R9. After a ton of reading reviews and testings I narrowed the choices down to the best 7 or 8 and started trying them, buying 2 or 3 at a time. In summary, the Baracuda Hunter and the Crow Magnum's were the most accurate and consistent of all. The two are pretty close in accuracy however the damage of the Hunters was awesome.

Would like to see a 500 count tin with a little more discount as 200 goes in a hurry. So be sure and buy 4 at a time.

Easy to get frustrated with buying a lot of pellets to find that "right one" for your gun. I would have never dreamed each gun is so different. Read a lot, study the reviews, take notes of what you like to hear especially when comparing the gun used to yours. Know your gun and it's capable of shooting power and you discern closer to what weight will suit your gun.

If your barrel likes these pellets they expand well on game.

A tin of 500 would be nice.

fps 700 & up is when they really expand on game.

I like the fact that I finally have an AR that shoots this pellet with outstanding accuracy ! I have the Benjamin Maximus in 22 cal with mild power mod , and it produces 26 fpe on average . Average grouping of 3/4 in. at 35 yards . Baracuda Hunter is one hard hitting pellet . All you hard core AR hunters know of the ongoing debate ; headshot verses heart/lung shot ... I am here to tell you , this pellet drops tree rats in their tracks with either ...

Not a thing

I have not tried Baracuda Hunter for long distance due to the fact that I'm gettin' on in life , and the hands and eyes ain't what they used to be . Happy Hunting ! And above all , be safe out there . Bill R.

Very accurate out of my break barrel and PCP guns. Maybe the most consistent pellet I have tested across multiple platforms. Of course it's great to have the benefit a hollow point provides while being accurate.

Please include a foam pad in the (.25) tin to protect the pellets during shipping. Otherwise nothing I love these.

Two things: 1. When I reordered more of these hollow points the new tins had a different presentation (a brown and silver tin vs the original was blue and silver). This tells me they are from a different lot/time, or maybe different size head? Therefore I am not sure the new ones will perform the same. 2. These baracuda hunter HP pellets drastically out performs the h&n hunter extreme pellets which is supposed to be an upgrade over these.... not even close!
