Page 3 - H&N Baracuda Hunter, .25 Reviews

My Benj Syn Rod likes these pellets. Quarter size groups at 15 yds and they chrono at 800 fps avg with the factory tune.

None

The hollow points have demonstrated impressive knock down power on small game. Good hunting pellet.

accurate great expantion

more per tin

they put a wallop on small to medium game

The Cuda Hunters are my absolute favorite pellet. I am not dedicated to bench shooting, although I do enjoy a little bit of that and these pellets group very well. My main reason for loving them is the smack they deliver on pests. They are very accurate in all my airguns and they make a supreme delivery at the end of the trajectory. I also really like the cans (tins for you Brit-like shooters). The threaded tops don't come off while being carried. JSB, are you reading this?

Put foam discs in the cans like JSB does. It reduces the little flats and dents on the pellets, especially when carrying the can in a pocket.

Gitcha some and let the varmints know who's in charge.

Very uniform shape. Fits well in my Benji XL725. Very accurate and hard hitting. Chrony at 758fps avg.

Nothing

H-N pellets shoot great out of all my air rifles. Try some you will like

these pellets are very uniform and I did not find any damaged,i like the weight and they are accurate in my 125 hatsan 25 cal. the screw on lid is nice I will buy more.

nothing

the barracuda hunter is a good pellet give them a try. they hit hard and penetrate deep out of my hatsan 125 25 cal. some guns might not shoot good with them but my rifle did. I shoot from 30 to 75 feet most of the time.

My Daystate wolverine B Hi-lite in .25 liked these pellets a lot. Pretty consistent groups. My gun didn't like the shorter or lighter pellets at all!

Fine the way they are!

I tried using JSB's long heavies in the magazine They wouldn't fit easily and had to be pushed into it hard before the mag would rotate to load another pellet. Due to skirt size ! Now this is My Wolverine magazine. Not sure if anyone else may of had the same issues with other manufactures mags !

accurate for a hollow point.

they need to be made from softer lead, or a better design of the hollow point.

they seem to be made from much harder lead than the other h&n's i have. 900fps barely makes them expand on soft targets.

I was very pleased with them good groups

Nothing

Don't have anything to add

nice over all pellet.

I was using these in my Hatsan AT-P1 QE PCP .25 cal. pistol . Your better off throwing rocks at the target, flyers all the time, now keep in mind, I don't believe it was the fault of the pellets,I think it was the pistol didn't like them.

I like the screw on lid container. All pellets in tin are in great shape and are uniform in size. The accuracy to 50 yards is the same as the JSB Exact Kings in my Syn Rod. They also expand upon impact and the nose of the pellet opens up and forms a cup. These are great for smashing nutters.

350 pellets in a container would be nice.

They are a great alternative to the JSB Exact Kings. I have tested them to 50 yards and they have the same exact POI as the JSB Kings.

Have tested many pellets in my Air Arms .177, .22, and .25 rifles. The Baracuda Hunter performs flawlessly in all of my rifles in all calibers, shooting ragged one hole groups at 20 yards, with more penetration and expansion than the Baracuda Hunter Extreme. Seems to perform nearly as well as the very best solid dome pellets. Highly recommend.

Nothing

Certainly should be tried.

H&N quality. Clean. Fit perfect in Hat 155 Vortex .25. Nothing groups any tighter for me. Perfect weight for my purposes. Hold over is do-able/predictable. I can hit anything anytime w/ authority up to 97yrds.

My Fence Line is only 97yrds away!

Just a hair lighter than a Cuda Xtreme. For me w/ Hat 155 Vortex i like them at 97yrds. Both My Hat 150 .22 & 155 .25 like this pellet, at any range. Indoors at 17yrds its rediculous, no challenge, one small jagged hole.

Most accurate and hardest hitting pellet I've found for my Hatsan 95 Vortex. Consistently produces 3-shot groups with holes touching each other up to 20 yards. Considerably more impact than other hollow points I've tried. Conservatively produces 20 footpounds plus. Penetrates 3/4 inch pine, with a clean hole going in and splintered wood going out. A quality, clean, and consistent pellet. Hollow point is deep and precise, with moderate mushrooming on soft wood. I haven't tried it on game yet, but I expect good results.

Not a thing.

Your mileage may vary.

Accuracy highest of all hollow points I've tried. Took a turkey with them at 45yds no problem one shot was enough to do the job. The just blow the squirrels right out of the trees.

Nothing H&N did a great job with these pellets.

If you have pest, varmint problems or just need a good hunting pellet here you go. Give them a try.

There is no substitute for quality, so whether I use my four Beeman German made air rifles/pistol, [.177 & .22} or my Benjamin NP XL [.177] or one of the three Hatsan 125s [.22 & .25], I have discovered that I don't need to search all over the spectrum for the best pellets for each airgun. I started off using H&N pellets and have been 100% satisfied with the quality, the coating, and the consistency of any H&N pellet type I use.

Nothing at all. even the tins are great. Being able to unscrew the lid and sit the can inside of the lid while using the pellets is a real plus. In addition, being able to stack my pellets [by caliber and weight and type] because of a little rim on the bottom of each can and a similar groove on the lids reall keeps my airgun case as tidy as possible.

As I have already said in the the "Things I like" section, "There is no substitute for quality, so buy H&N first before you spend MORE money on other brands and are disappointed.
H&N keep my fingers clean while shooting and are consistently accurate. I do use a pellet seat to ensure the skirts are pushed below the breech seal.

Hard hitting and think squirrel season should be more enjoyable this year.

Add more in the tin

Shoots well through a smooth twist barrel, my Bobcat loved them. My marauder did not.

Ok I'm looking at this ammo while at the some time holding the .177 pellet in 10.35 grain next to the 26 grain and there's no contest, not only it has crazy range but mushrooms on impact. the ammo is just sexy with nice curves and shinny. no but serious it's probably the better choice for magnum springers.

More pellets PLEASE!!!!!

Yea by the way if your shooting these out of a Mod 125 Sniper.25 like I am then the scene has been set and it's curtains for any varmint in the wrong place.

Great accuracy from my BT65. These group better than the Baracuda 31gr and better than the Hunter Extreme (from my gun). I haven't tested their expansion, but there are some pretty compelling videos on youtube.

shape

accuracy

This is a hard hitting pellet that my GenII .25 cal. Mrod loves! Consistent one ragged hole groups (8 shot) at 40 yards. 27 tree rats this season .. most one shot kills. A really effective hunting pellet. Oh, and nice screw on lid tin. Someone has been listening.

nothing

My Mrod shoots these exceptionally well but not all guns like the same ammo. you will need to try different pellets in your gun to find what works best in it. If you are looking for an effective hunting pellet give these a try.
