Page 8 - H&N Baracuda Hunter, .22 Reviews

Wow, these things pack a punch! Couldn't sleep the other night and decided to do some ballistics testing(dont ask). When fired through a 1" board these things have amazing expansion! I was testing Eun Jin's and CPHPs as well. Haven't got to thoroughly test ranged accuracy, but these have been spot on up to 35yds for me.

More in a tin, less money for said tin...

If you are using a gun with enough umph to really make these things expand, then definitely give em a shot. My Ruger Air Magnum loves em

Accurate through my .22 Marauder pistol. Appeared to be clean and uniform. Nice wound channel on a squirrel I had taken.

Maybe have the weight between 16-18gr.

H&N has it down when it comes to quality pellets.

Hmmm, let me see. Yes, I would put more pellets in a tin that stays closed.

They are a great spin on the conventional hollow point pellets. The skirts are soft soft so if used in a springer they reshape enough to help accuracy. Although a destroyed skirt is still hopeless.

Nothing

A premium pellet that shoots exceptionally well in most things. The soft lead also makes this a great hunting pellet. On your target instead of passing threw it deforms so it gives maximum shock on target.

Great products

Good accuracy, expansion with nice weight for about 30fpe out my Marader. Screw top tin!

Maybe 500 ct tins.

Pretty descent hollow points.

These Hollow-point Pellets ar great, they will expand much like a hollowpoint bullet would. At least if fired from a sufficently powerful Airgun, (The Crosman 1322 won't make the mustard, it doesn't fire pellets fast enough), the Benjamin Marauder Pistol @ 700 FPS has just barely enough power for the Pellets to really expand on impact.

More pellets per tin is the only thing I would change, I guess. There are 200 pellets per tin, but the Crosman Premiers come in tins of 500 Pellets.

Good weight, accuracy & expansion.

Larger quanities.

Good accuracy out my .22 Marauder.

Deep air pocket on these pellets, more so than the JSB pellets. Shot a pest at fairly close range with my AA S510 Carbine and it dropped it like a bad habit. but I think at the range that I was shooting any pellet would have done that especially at 30 foot pounds.

Larger tin with 500 round count would be nice.

Seems to be fairly accurate although I haven't had a chance to really open the distance up on these yet, I will have a chance in a couple days and I will update if I can. the expansion with these is pretty good along with exit wound is pretty devastating.

Nice new tin (screw on top) H&N quality with a cool new hollow point shape that opens up good that creates more edges

Not as accurate out of my Benjamin Marauder Pistol as H&N Baracuda Hunter

I will be uploading a image of before & after to show the expansion. check it out

These are perfect

Price is kinda up there should come in 500s

Consistent shape, undamaged skirts, excellent expansion, screw-on lid, extremely accurate.

250 pellets per tin, like JSB

Hopefully, H&N reads all the rave reviews for the screw-on lids on these pellet tins, and utilizes them across their entire line. These pellets are very accurate in my guns, like all H&N pellets I've tried so far except the Crow Magnums. These have similar ballistics to the Baracuda Hunters. Out of stock already? These must be selling like hotcakes. Glad I bought four tins!

these are outstanding hunting pellets. they shoot very well in my Titan GP and QB79.

nothing

shot a penny at 20 yards with my Titan and the penny was destroyed. dime size groups at 20 yards.

Consistent from pellet to pellet. I like the new H&N container due to its screw on feature.

Nothing.

This shoots consistently but not accurately in my Theoben Mark 2. It has a 5.50mm head diameter (.2165), but is slightly small. My barrel prefers 5.53mm. The standard 5.53 Baracuda shoots .050 inch 5 shot groups at 20 yards.

They are a quality pellet,they are well made and packed great

Nothing

They seem to expand more than average hollow points. I think in a high power gun they would be a one shot kill

Uniformity,penetration,Pyramids extra protective pkg. when shipped

Nothing"Maybe a larger quantity

It's just agood name brand pellet

Outstanding accuracy with nice weight. Great expansion too. Plus they finally gave us a screw top tin.

I'd like to see them in a 500ct.

I was pleased to see how well these pellets performed in accuracy & expansion. Glad I ordered 2 tins.

This is a bit of an update. I put these through some targets with my condor and then dealt with a muskrat. These things are accurate at any power setting on my condor as advertised on the can. They grouped very nice and I was able to call my shots and place every one of them where I said I would. (I drew a smiley face on a prariechuck target) As far as a real varmint, one shot was all it took and it was history.

I'd make the cross pattern a bit wider so it does a bit more damage

Excellent hunting pellet. If you have a stubborn pest that doesn't see things your way, these will convince him.

Accurate, hard hitting, with nice expansion @ 25yds with a Benjamin Marauder. At 19.09gr, they seem to fly about the same as 18.1 JSB's. Nice clean pellet. Plus, the tins have a screw top! Thanks H&N for listening. Glad I ordered 2 tins.

Nothing. Well, maybe 500 count tins.

Because I like accuracy, I usually shoot JSB 18.1's in my Marauder, but after firing 50 of these guys from 25yds out, I'd say they're spot on. (8 groups of 5, all within .50, no fliers. 2 groups of 5 on tin cans). I'm doing some 50 & 100yd tests very soon. Don't forget...order 4 tins, get 1 free.

very accuret shot a sparrow at 25 yards n it blew it apart. they mushroom up n leave a devistating hole.

offer a bigger tin like 500 other then that nothing.

great product n great buy for the money will be buying more.
