Page 5 - H&N Baracuda Hunter, .25 Reviews

I use the 25 in my Hatsan,what ever I shoot is DOA, so go out there and have a blast. But the Rats and the Mice will hate you !! :)

nothing

nope

Pellet head design. The pellets are consistent in weight,size and shape.They fit snugly into the breach of my Hatsan 95 springer.

Offer a 500 shot tin.

These pellets, when shot through my Hatsan 95 .25cal, are awesome. At 35yds they do not mushroom, they hit with such force that they split into three pieces! My target is made from corrugated boxes that are flattened and pressed into a tight stack 9in thick. These pellets leave nice round entrance holes and produce complete devastation on the inside with a penetration of 6 to 8 inches. I get groups of less than one-half inch at 35yds using a Leapers UTG 3-9x40 AO True Hunter Rifle Scope. In my Hatsan 95 they have an average velocity of 577fps and produce 21fpe muzzle energy! I can hardly wait for squirrel season to open. These pellets should be absolutely deadly with instant humane kills on small game.

very accurate in my hatsan at44 s-10 long and hits hard and quick dispatch

For a Hollowpoint this pellet really flies straight and true. The expansion is amazing. Most shots will expand up to .5". I've been using these for target but they are for hunting so, The squirrels that are in the area are now diminishing quickly. The primary reason I purchased these was to use on racoons who raid the cats food bowl, and also have been bringing in fleas and possibly ring worm, so they need to go. My Hatsan 125 really likes them and at 30 yards for squirrel they are impressive at 15 yards for medium raccoons, its a definitely a quick goodnight.

Not a thing. What would be a nice/needed addition to the line of products is a "Lead Free" pellet in all calibers. Here in "California's Condor Zone" we are now restricted to this type of ammo, and there is talk that the whole state will go this way very soon. Right now springer air guns are exempt but you know how that goes.

I've used about 600 of these so far which is limited, but they seem to really work, the quality is great.the screw cap makes it nice no mess. The pellets are all prefect so the QC is outstanding. I know there are those who speak to the quantity for the price, but the quality is what you pay for. In addition they are shipping LEAD from where?? So the price is fine.

These are wicked!

Nothing

Buy some!

Uniformity of all pellets was superb. I wash all of my pellets before I shoot them and I didn't notice any bent up or damaged skirts. The weight of these Hunter Extremes is another positive for this pellet.

Nothing at all.

I received these a few days ago and I finially got out to try them. For starters, I shoot these out of a well tuned Hatsan 125. At 40 yards these not only hit with authority, but also very accurate as well. The cross hatched head design also performs as it should. I shot 3 pellets at a thick phone book and the 3rd pellet passed completely through. That's 3 pellets shot through the same hole. Very impressive pellets. I shot at a distance of 25 yards and was able to recover 2 of the 3 pellets and they mushroomed better than I had expected.

this is a hard hitting pellet. I wasn't as happy with the accuracy of these I normally get with my other guns and calibers, but every gun is different.

make them in different sizes by a thousandth to test for accuracy. some guns shoot better with a slightly smaller or larger head and skirt.

Everthing

Nothing

Hard hitting

Very accurate clean hard hitting pellet. My marauder likes them but the pest not so much.

Nothing.

Give them a try.

Shoot well and are accurate.

They do deform but not much for a hollow point, it however dose not seem to effect the terminal proformance of these pellets, drops squirrels like flies.

Good value for price.

I've found that the H&N products are on par with the JSB products. These pellets shoot very well and are high quality.

The price could be lowered to match the Barracudas ($9.50) since they are lighter 9less lead).

I shot these pellets from my Evanix Windy City II and was able to get a max of 941 fps which is 55.85 fpe. These pellets produced 3/8" groups at 20 yards - nearly the same accuracy of the Barracudas and the JSB Exact Kings. Being slightly lighter than the Barracuda pellets, they should provide the ability to take small game at further distance.

Think they look cool

diameter

These will not seat in my condor, in fact these fall from the breech of my condor if i point the rifle vertical. Thought maybe I just grabbed one that wasn't uniform, but after going through 6 from the tin and all of them being way to small in diameter I have tossed them aside into my "melt for casting" pile. Smallest diameter .25 pellet I have come across.

The way they did the hollow point on these pellets very nice they are an accurate pellet seem to be good in my Condor loves heavier pellets but these have great knock down I would imagine after I kill something I'll make another comment on them but they look devistating how they're cut as they are.. They keep a good fair group but seem to lagg a little less then longer magnum pellets that my condor likes.. Overall it's good in it but waiting to drop something alive to know how good they perform..

Make it heavier longer for some guns..

Good Expansion, Minimal Skirt seating needed. At 10M had a 5 shot group of .40 center to center with my Benjamin Marauder. Excellent Pellets!

Nothing.

I tried 13 different kinds of pellets with my Hatsan 125 sniper vortex and many pellets shot well out of them, but these are the best. I can easily hit Starlings at 60 yards. I am on my 6th tin of these and I have yet to find any that have any type of deformity or bent skirts.

Maybe offer a tin of 350.

As always, these my not shoot well out of your air rifle. I would suggest getting a sampler and trying many different ones out.

This is a pellet tat i purchased at H&N recoendation for bird shooting. I have not yet used it for that, however for test purposes I have tested it for spread, and it is quite amazing. The spread is about 1.2 inch through a hard target like Hardie Plank Fiber cement board. Because this is very different fro a crow, dove, quail etc. I'm not sure what could happen there, but it would be very hard on soft tissue I'm sure. They are very accurate in my test at 30 yards and very devastating to the panel.

Not a thing

I have not tried these on varmints or small game, it would seem though the knock down power would be substantial. Again P/A packaging is the best on this, High quality all around.

Pellets appear to be made with very good consistency. Nice screw on lid.

Not as accurate as their Hunter pellets in my limited testing.

These may be accurate enough in your airgun, so give them a try. Should be a very effective hunting pellet.

The design and expansion on vamits

nothing

these work really well in my Marauder out to 50 yards on pests

This was tested with a Hatsan 125 .25 shooting through a "James Hardie" Fiber Cement sheet, which is an extremely tough siding material. These pellets passed right through and in some cases ricocheted off the concrete block wall backstop, and kept going. The pellets recovered after penetration and stopping at the wall were flat with only 2-3 mm of skirt left intact. Spread is impressive, and would be devastating if not lethal to small game.

Not a thing

Worth every penny for the quality, and result after impact. Accuracy is very consistent.
