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

Accurate and hard hitting.

The only draw back with the heavier pellet is the velocity. The drop quicker but do have more FPE on target. On airguns that launch the pellet at 900 fps +, these would be great.

The weight, same as the kodiak, The shape is kewl, and i always liked heavy pellets.

nothing, the reason i put bad ratings is because these suck out of my walther falcon, accuate with open sites better than with scope.

dont use these if u have a falcon hunter, (22.)

Woks just perfect! 20mm plywood going through like a butter. Pallets well made.Price fare.

nothing

Pyramyd Air you can trust!

Beautifully made pellet with very consistant accuracy and awesome penetration ! Second only to Crosman Premier in my RWS 350 magnum. I've used H&N pellets for over 30 years and they've always been a top quality pick in any caliber in my book.

I still don't like push on metal lids. You are going to drop and spill them sooner or later

You need a very powerful gun to shoot these, otherwise they will probably be too heavy at 21 grains for some air guns. Shot the smallest long range group in 35 years of shooting German quality spring guns. Just .19 C-C inch at 32 yards! Sure it was a little luck, but it blew my mind. Usually they will shoot around .5 or .6 inch at that range. Be ready to adjust your elevation for these pellets.

Good packaging and every pellet is pefect. No flashing or residue to be found. Very smooth finish and the fit in the chamber is consistant.

Sell in tins of 500. Like everyone else.....a screw lid.

These are the same as the Beeman Kodiak. They shoot exceptionally well in the Benjamin Maruader and the Evanix S10. With the PCP's this should be the first pellet to try. These pellets give very consistant one holers with a good quality rifle and excellent downrange energy. Make sure to check your back stop before using these!

Perfect! same hole shooters with my 2 custom bulk fill 2250's and my 2240 My NPSS loves them to and will also put them in the same hole! fit great in all my guns,clean pellets and are all the same size...

More and screw on lid...

buy em an try em..

These along with JSB exact jumbo monsters shot the tightest groups in my Ben. Marauder. both pellets also hit in the same place on the target without having to adjust scope settings. They don't group very well in my discovery but for the marauder this is the pellet I have settled on.

A tin of 500 or 1000 count would be nice.

these are clean and consistent looking pellets

Neat heavy hard hitting.

Nothing, more powerfull air gun.

Must have a strong gun to shoot this pellet. I thought I did until i loaded it and shot it. I could see it leaving the gun (dont know how fast that is, when you can see the pellet). I shot RWS 460 Mag. Just didnt have the speed of lighter pellets

My air force condor loves these pellets.It is the only one of my guns I have tryed them in. My other guns are happy with crosman and jsp pellets. The condor doesen't like the lighter pellets.

Nothing

Keep them subsonic and they are very accurate and powerful.

VERY good clover leaf groups at farther, but reasonable distances in my Harmmeli X2 rifle. I use these and the H&N crow mag hp. with the same acruate resaults with out changes to the scope.

nothing.

A must try for people that like tight groups, if your rifle likes these pellets they will give you good resaults every time.

These are good solid, but heavy pellets. Probably good for 10-30 meter shots and they do appear to be consistently accurate within this range band. On a 600 fps rifle the drop off seems significant at 50 meters. On a 1000+ fps rifle they will hit the target at 50 meters and very hard (penetrating ~1/2" particle board), but I was unable to get consistent accuracy without re-sighting the rifle. Many of my shots were a bit low.

nothing

Thought I'd try these, but have decided to go with lighter pellets for my rifles since I need the longer range and consistency at the longer range. These are undoubtedly excellent and very accurate pellets.

They perform very well, much like the JSB pellets of similar weight.

It may just be that my Condor prefers the JSB's a little bit better as these seem to stray every 4th-5th shot. Even after cleaning.

H&N Pellets are definetly worth a try!

These pellets are hard-hitting, accurate, high quality (soft lead alloy reduces barrel leading) and very consistent in shape (no deformed skirt found yet.) The best group at 100 yards was 1.4375" with around 950 fps muzzle velocity (still going thru the 2nd tin.) These along with the Eun Jins (28.4 and 32 grainers) are my favorite pellets.

If a round nose (or any other change) will make them even more accurate, go for it H&N!

These pellets were shot outdoor on a relatively calm day (less than 5 mph wind) from a Sumatra 2500R (380cc) that has passed the break-in period and the barrel cleaned per the Pyramyd blog.The rifle was rested on a bench without any gun vise. The pellets were weight-sorted (putting them into groups differ by 0.1 grain) and dropped into the back of the magazine head first and then forced thru it to be "sized" for pellet skirt consistency. The best shot groups reported were obviously achieved in the sweet spot of the unregulated air rifle.

Uniform , heavy, hard hitting, extremely accurate and in stock --- These are almost identical to Beeman Kodiaks except one major way, you can get these when you want them. Never going back to Beeman since they're never available anyway.

Screw on lid. Offer it in tins of 500.

This is my go to pellet in my Discovery .22 -- super accurate and hard hitting. Going to order multiple tins of these on my next order.

Very high quality, even weight distribution, great accuracy, superb knockdown power

Other than including a free six-pack with every tin - nothing!

I just got these recently and have been experimenting with them for the past week or so. Did I NEED them? Of course not - I have plenty of pellets. But hey, I'll shoot 'em all eventually, right?? Anyway - so far I'm very happy with the Baracudas. I've been putting them through my Marauder and Discovery, both with GREAT results. Accuracy is superb within the 25 yd range I've been testing, and given their weight these things hit HARD. Not to mention that they are really beautiful to behold - the build quality is amazing, just like Paul says in his video. This pellet is now splitting time with the 18.2gr JSB Diabolo and Crow Magnum in the pest control arsenal...

The quality of these pellets is impeccable. Combine this with their weight and domed-shape and you've got a pellet that is devastating and accurate at long distances. If you line these up side by side with lower-end pellets the stark difference in quality becomes immediately apparent.

Honestly, nothing. They are top notch and priced fairly.

The Beeman Kodiak in .22 is without a doubt the most demanded Beeman pellet we sell and it is made for Beeman by H&N. The Baracuda Match is essentially a Beeman Kodiak Match—and costs less! Additionally, this pellet weight is a little much for springers, so I would stick to Pre-charged with these.

A very well designed, accurate pellet with the weight needed in alot of different hunting situation's, It's an aerodynamic round that'll give you added distance while still maintaining great energy transfer towards your intended quarry. I've been a fan of H&N Baracuda Match for many yrs now.

It would be nice to add in some foam to keep the settling down to a minimum.

This is quite a heavy round, so use your judgment in which weapon's you use it in. I've had no problem's useing this ammo with my Crosman TAC1 Extreme,QB-78 Deluxe(Modded),QB-57 Deluxe,XS-B2-2A(Modded), and even my .22 XS-B4-2A get's fantastic accuracy within 30yd's after that it start's lobbing quite abit, but even with noticeable hold-over the round still retain's near match accuracy up-ward's of 50 yd's. I highly reccomend this and all H&N pellet's, you just can't beat them for value, accuracy, quality, and quality control. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.

Big heavy weight pellet. Great knockdown power. These work great in my 392.

I guess i would have a screw on lid.

These may pose a problem in spring guns. Use strickly in pnuematics.

Excellent grouping pellet, fantastic price. Great BC for what it's worth.

price and hard hitting

need a screw on cap
