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

the concept of the hollow point thumping it give to a pest

not sure , possibly softer lead mix

shot these from my brocock bantam sniper hr, do ok up to 20 yds, better than crow magnums, not as good as barracuda hunter pellets. i have no problem putting these to pests up to raccoon size up to 20 yds. if further, i need diabolo pellets.

Good pellets,hit hard,

Nothing

Everything! 994 fps avg out of Airforce Condor SS. With nice tight groupings.

Nothing

I've always had great results with this pellet in many calibers

I tried these for the first time today in my FX wildcat in .25 and shot great out to 50 yds. Got 10 starlings and 4 crows with chest shots in a hour. Maintain good power for one shot kills with 2 dot hold over and little wind. Great in my Ataman .25 as well with over kill power.

200 count tins and 300 count tins would be great!

If you have a FX Wildcat or Ataman in .25, give these a try!

very consistent accuracy

not a thing

best 25 caliber pellet I have ever shot

Extremely accurate in my FX Wildcat, and shoot right along side JSB Kings with good terminal performance on small game.

Nothing

Try as many different pellets as possible, you never know what your rifle will like. These work great in my FX but are marginal in my Cricket even though the Cricket is a tack driver with JSB Kings

In my Marauder.25 they are certainly accurate enough for small game. Not as tight of a group as jsb or polymags that are a ragged hole at 25yds, but like the said certainly respectable and these absolutely will get used!!

Good velocities. Good knock down power.

Quantities. Give us an option for bulk discount

Love the way these dudes look. That's really about it.

2 for 2 on my .25 call hatsan at44-10 short from H&N that did not preform worth a darn. These were the worst with some missing my 10 by 11 inch trap all together. I thought hatsan was a major distributor of H&N pellets now? These and the baracudas fit so loose in my hatsan mag they just want to fall out. Can't even feel them engage the rifling within the barrel either. Highly disappointing when hatsan themselves help distribute these. Even my .22 Marauder doesn't like these. Shame since these are proven to be deadly in hunting applications from what I've seen. Offer in different head sizes just as some of the .22 cal H&N pellets do! My .22 marauder was able to find the baracudas accurate after going through all the head sizes they offer, liking 5.51 and 5.52 head sizes the best.

Have a .25 cal hatsan pcp I'd be careful with the H&N products. From what I gathered off mine they just aren't made for the barrels. Off what reviews I read too some of the hatsan Springer owners seem to have them just fall our of the breech as they go to close up the barrel in the .25 cal. I believe they need to start offering different head sizes for some of their pellets as they do in .22 cal. Until that day comes I'm afraid I won't be buying anymore of this brand in .25 for my hatsan. 2 near full tins I have just collecting dust cause I can't even punch paper with much predictability. Will invest more money into the brand of they do offer different head sizes since the baracudas did show some promise of wanting to group.

My Marauder loves these. One ragged hole at 50 yd out of my marauder 8 shots. 50 yd and still passing right through a 3/4 plywood board. Small hole in the front and it took a patch out of the back. With the screw on lid and 10$ price tag I am positive I will keep a tin of these on hand. I'm super ready to see what they do to the bunnies trying to raid my garden this year. I am usually focused on head shots, I'm gonna do more shots in the vitals with these.

Nothing.

These are a good pellet. Destructive on the plywood and old beer cans filled with water. Mrod, at least mine, seems to like them. clean and a nice thick skirt. Haven't found a bent one yet. It's a good pellet and for 10$ it wont cost you much to give them a shot. These are JSB accurate at 50 yd but, they have a funky cross shaped hollow point.

Good clean pellets great knockdown power

Nothing

Try them

In my MROD these are very accurate, They were just as accurate as the JSB's and Polymags at 20yds, and seem to be at longer ranges as well. I haven't had a chance to really test them properly yet beyond 30yds. They hit hard, and are great for hunting small game. Haven't tried anything bigger than a squirrel yet, i will update when i do.

Possibly make the

good ammo nice n accurate with my 25 cal

lower cost bit or offer more per tin

nope

Quality, clean uniform pellets that shoot well in my 25 cal Marauder. Will purchase more later when the two tins purchased are used up.

Increase quantity of pellets in tins.

They group well in my Benjamin 725well made pellet

Nothing

The weight is nice, I love the accuracy 1" groups at 70 meters. Shooting out of a FX Indy and getting 55 fpe with these things. Totally destroys squirrels and birds. Got a crow at 80 meters last week dead on site.

Nothing an excellent pellets for pcp Guns.

Any less than 700 fps the drop is to much to be accurate at any kinda distance would not recommend for light springers.

As always the screwdriver head on the projectile is class A, nice weight for the tuned .25 Sniper. I've shot these in .177 and they were pure devastating on squirrels at 25 and 35 yards so Yea, these are Big Babies.

Nothing at all

A lot of PCP owners would say you need a gun like theirs to receive energy like theirs but what I do know is I'm getting just a little over 700 with these so do the math. Tuned Sniper and these are smoking fast for 28grains. 50 yards No problem they get it done son.

H&N quality. Clean. Perfect fit. Accurate. They hold up under power, they mushroom, they penetrate. Great pellet for me.

Guy at Hatsan USA recommended H&N Barcuda line. They work great in my 150 & 155 Hatsans .22 & .25. W/ 155 in .25 holdover is abit to consider at 97yrds w/ this weight. But i can hold 3" groups out there w/ Peep sites. Up closer at 30yrds i get Quarter sized groups. Indoor at 17yrds, one dime sized jagged hole. I can shoot these Cuda Xtremes & Cuda Hunters back to back same POI up to 30yrds.

They look cool.

Not sure, do not work well in my gun. not very accurate. About a 2.5 inch group @ 20-30 yards. In my opinion, not good enough for what they were designed for. Hunting, right?

Try them before you go hunting.

For me, the best.....

Nothing.

Only from seen the package you see quality. All pellets looks the same clean, uniformity, shape.
