Page 5 - H&N Baracuda Match, .177 Reviews

always accurate in my gun

it still doesnt have a screw on cap but the new design is better!

Of all the different pellets I've tried, my rws 48 seems to like the Baracuda 10.65 g the best.

Change the container to a screw lid!!!

Good price and uniform pellets

screw-on top

Passes through critters. It's far more bullet than I am used to. A hollow point is my next order. I'm still an amatuer with air rifles.

Very accurate. My Hamerli 850 likes heavier pellets. Both JBS Heavy and these pellets worked the best but the H&N match shot one ragged hole at 20 yds and less than 1 MOA at 50 yards.

Screw top lid for tin.

Pellets arrived in great shape. Bought them on sale so they were a good bargain. Expensive otherwise

A nice heavy pellet and is accurate which I like very much

Need to put packing inside of there tins

Accurate at long range

Clean, well formed with no casting marks or spurs. Great design. Great medium weight for light hunting and plinking. Leaves bore of the rifle relatively clean. Very accurate and consistent in my Ruger Blackhawk 1000fps rifle.

Larger and screw top tin. The tin is too small for this many pellets; left many pellets deformed due to lid pressure.

I also use the 15.74gr version of this pellet. That version seems to be a bit more accurate and definitely has more killing power than this one but I won't sell this one short. It will still get the job done, especially on smaller varmints such as rats and young possums. Those that I mentioned that were deformed by the too small tin can easily be reformed by jamming a retracted ball point pen tip into the cavity and rotating it a bit. Just downright unnecessary and irritating to have to do; you have to go through every bloomin' pellet to make sure you don't pick a bad one when in the field.

One of my gamo gun couldnt hit a barn.tried different scopes and still nothing.so i tried the heavy baracuda match pellets at 10.65 grains and what a difference.Totally different gun.Lighter pellets strayed to much.Actually like this gun again!

Screw on or a snap on lid for yhe can.

Hard shooting gun try heavier pelets.

These pellets are very uniform and fit in chamber very well tight groups at 20 meter range. Price is right for these. Great pellet for my RWS 52.

Need a better tin lid.

The tin is thin so leave it in the foam package it comes from Pyramyd in or you may spill.
Buy some crossman pellets and dump them and use the screw type tin for these pellets.

Exceptionally smooth finish and no residue in the tin. No visable damage on a single pellet which is rare.

Nothing.

I use these in an Anshultz ZM2002 and a Condor with a 12" barrel. This pellet is perfect in both rifles at the 875-900 fps range. They literally will tread through the same hole at 15 yards.

Being so small the softer lead composition made loading in the tighter chambers very easy. Compared to Premiers they slide in like butter. For the quality I consider them a much better buy for the money as they do shoot just slightly better in my 2 rifles.

If you have a PCP these are a must try item!

consistency in accuracy, uniform

screw top, sharp version same weight

this ammo will give u consistency at any yardage u attempt

Good consistency shot-for-shot. Heavier weight increases accuracy over long distances as well.

Like everyone else says, screw on lid and a foam insert for the tin.

Used in my Gamo Big Cat 1200. Wouldn't recommend using such a heavy pellet exclusively in a spring gun, but when your shot absolutely has to hit its mark, there isn't a better pellet.

Quality. They are all the same, no mold lines, no oval skirts etc. Penatration is insane. Point blank they went through a 3 in pine branch. I shoot them out of my Gamo Hunter sport with gas piston and GRT3 trigger and can get groups that are covered by 1 pellet. I have shot them from 35 ft to 40 yards and am very pleased with accuracy.

Screw on lid. The tin opened in my pockets so I got to spend about 20 minutes digging around in my pocket so I didnt have to listen to the wife when they went through the laundry.

Very good for the money.

Uniform shape. Fits snugly in the barrel. Very consistant POI. High quality control and well packed. No manufacturing seams or tabs like other pellets. Skirts are thick and every pellet fits the barrel like the one before.

nothing

Work great in my Gamo Big Cat. With these pellets I can shoot 1/2 inch groups a t 21 yards consistantly. Stacking pellets thru the same hole is not uncommon. These were recommended by the staff at PA. I love these pellets.

Top quality, uniformity, and incredible accuracy.

Nothing!!!

This is the original manufacturer for the re-badged Beeman Kodiak Match pellets. If you have a magnum springer of PCP in 177 then this should be on your shopping list.

Very accurate, hard hitting.

Would prefer a screw top lid.

Very accurate in my TX200. This are the same pellets as the H&N Baracuda with better quality control. Would recommend spending a bit more to get these if the Baracuda's work well in your rifle.

These things are super accurate and they hit like a ton of bricks from my BAM B30-1. In one day I took two squirrels at over forty yards and six sparrows from on average 35 yards. The wind was blowing 10-20 MPH and I took them all FREEHAND from a very heavy rifle. My optic is a Leapers 1X Red/Green Dot Tactedge. That's right, no magnification. The red dot completely covered the sparrow's body and I dropped them consistently.

I can't imagine that they could be any better for what I use them for.

They fit very snugly in the barrel and I suspect this accounts for the accuracy and energy these things deliver on the target. They are heavy but I didn't have to adjust my optic from where I had it from a much lighter pellet(Crosman Premier Hollow-Points). The sound this pellet makes on impact with flesh is VERY impressive.

Accurate, test your guns with these pellets all of mine shot them suprisingly well

nothing

these pellets buck the wind and carry their energy to long ranges

I shoot minisniping (9mm cartridge at 35 yds) with a Walther Dominator. Shoots very accurately in this rifle. I've tried other pellets these work the best.

Screw on lid!!!

In the four tins I bought all the pellets weighed in at 10.2-3 gr. This was really consistent but under the advertised weight. The CPH I bought to compare weighed in at 10.4-5 gr but did not group as well in my rifle.

The H&N Barracuda Match .177 pellets and the H&N Diabolo Barracuda .177 pellets are both 4,5mm - .177 and 10.65 gr. I purchased both type of pellets and beside the name, color of label on cans and the price, you can't tell any difference between them when shooting. In my opinion the Barracuda Match pellets are sorted better by weight and head size so you are getting a better pellet at a lower price.

Add a foam liner to protect pellets and a screw on top lid to make the perfect deal.

Excellent accuracy with my GAMO Whisper.

Super happy!!..There is nothing more to say about these pellets that was already said in previous reviews.

Nothing to change...just add a foam liner and a screw on top lid to make the perfect buy.

Great price. Excellet accuracy in my GAMO Whisper. Buy them, try them....., I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
