H&N Baracuda match, .177 Reviews

I appreciate the consistency in head size and weight of these pellets. They are "match grade" ,"hand selected" pellets. The weights of these pellets aren't EXACTLY from pellet to pellet, but they are a lot more uniform in size, shape, and weight than other tins of pellets. They have been somewhat picked through and sorted to be more consistent from pellet to pellet than just any randomly filled tins. These pellets also tend to perform best in my German barreled airguns. They tend to be best in my weihrauch and Diana spring guns. They also shoot well in some of my other brand airguns having Walther barrels. I would recommend these 10.65 grain pellets because the slightly higher weight tends to be more stable in some of the magnum springers.

I wouldn't change anything as far as these pellets are concerned. If I were using these pellets without attaining the best results , I would change to a different model and/or weight.

I would recommend a test tin of H&N pellets to find the correct model for my gun. Even though certain brands of airguns perform well with a particular brand of ammunition, every barrel is quite different. The best accuracy and power may be attainable by using other brands of ammunition.

Quality as always with h&n my weihrauch hw50 loves these and the air arms 10.4 grain but the bc is better with h&n baracuda my tests I came up with bc of 0.030 for h&n 10.65gr and 0.028bc for the air arms 10.4gr and the h&n head size is way more consistent

500 per tin instead of 400

If you shoot German springers give these a try there actually maintaining more speed and energy at 50 yards then the lightweight pellets and better in the wind

every thing verry clean verry accurate in most of my guns

A little cleaner than Crosman 10.5 s & no seam marks running down the side no point of impact change from Crosman 10.5 s

a little cheaper to offset S&H

work well in a myriad of pellet guns I have 4/ 177 Cal pellet guns & they all like these to varying degrees. the lead seams softer making for a better seal in the barrel. thicker skirt better for magnum rifles pcp s too

nice clean pellets no flash or seams hold together well after impact

nothing

equal to crosman 10.5 s just cost a little more ( negatable ) though .

Accuracy and uniformity

Nothing

Don't push these pellets more than 1,000fps accuracy will suffer a bit at long range.

Book match ammo ran well through my Air Force edge

Some rounds are not uniform have dents

By four match training

They are the most accurate pellets I have found for ALMOST all of my 10 pellet guns.

Make it plain on the container TOP the size of the pellet. I bought the 4.52 without knowing it, and when I re-ordered pellets, I got 4.50, without knowing it. I wondered why these weren't as accurate as the ones I bought before, thinking they were the same pellet. Fortunately, someone at PYRAMYD AIR brought it to my attention that these pellets were available in different sizes. It would have helped in the actual size of the pellet had been ON THE TOP OF THE CONTAINER!

Buy a can of each size, find out which size your gun likes, then only buy that size.

Not bad

Fly a little straighter

It's probably not the best.choice for the gamo wilcat

Consistency; moderate wind resistance.

None.

My venerable Crosman Fury has always been picky with pellets. These are at last the right fit. A 3/4 group at 25 yards is pretty good for a break barrel. It may have something to do with barrel harmonics. Haven't tried them with any other gun, but it's nice to finally have settled on the right one for my Fury. Will it work as well with later evolutions of the gun? Only some experimenting will tell.

Best grouping in my Avenger

Nothing at all

Of all the pellets this is the most accurate pellet I've tried in my Avenger. It's important to note that when I buy pellets from other places like Amazon, the tins arrive mutilated and damaged and dented. Accordingly a lot of pellets are damaged. You won't believe the care that Pyramyd Air takes to pack your pallets that they sent to you. They are very carefully packed in a foam square. They arrive to you in perfect condition. You'll actually be amazed when you see it. I've never seen pellets packed so carefully. Hello Pyramyd when you buy pellets you buy three and the fourth is free.

Nicely packaged, no damaged or deformed pellets, work very well in my Feinwerkbau pellet rifle that I just had repaired.

A little better marking on the tin so you can tell what diameter pellets you are using.

There two different diameters for these pellets. You need to take some care when ordering to make sure you get the same size each time.

These pellets have won the accuracy in testing in my R1. Every time I try to get some different ones working well, I can never seem to do as well as these pellets. Out of my RWS 75 they are pretty slow so keep them in a higher powered springer instead of an older match rifle

Nothing

Every gun is unique. You have to test because I was surprised that this is the repeated accuracy king in my R1

Very accurate pellets in a magnum. 177 springer

Nothing except lower price lol.

One hole groups at 25 yards very small groups at 50 yards.

Accurate

nothing

My rifle likes true to size pellets and these are that. It's a HW97K and these pellets will hit a thumb tack at 25 yards. That's good enough for me.

These pellets being shot out of my 760 pumpmaster hold a tighter group at 10 yards then the Crosman premier pellets. A 5 shot 3/8" group out of a smooth bore 30 dollar gun is not bad at all. For this gun the H&N Baracuda Match pellets 10.65 grain will be my go to pellets.

Nothing

Very accurate mid priced pellet.

Nothing.

Of the 50 i weighted i got 46 at 10.58 and the rest were 10.60 to 10.64

Maybe offer 1200 packs.

Most of my .177 love this pellet. I can get 0.30 inch groups at 55 yards.

Shoot well in all of my rifles. Acceptable accuracy. My Gamo CFX likes these pellets best. As usual fast shipping and pellets are shipped in foam wrapped protective containers

Nothing.

Pellet rifles have a preference for pellets that shoot best in that particular rifle. Try a tin of these.

Pellets look to be perfect in all aspects.

Nothing

They seem to shoot really true.
