Page 2 - H&N Field Target, .22 Reviews

Very accurate in my Weihrauch rifles & a high quality pellet.

After extensive testing, the H&N FTT 5.52mm domed pellet groups best at 20yds in my Crosman Titan GP. I replaced the front sight with an Archer 15mm universal muzzle brake and that improved the appearance and to a noticeable degree shrank the group size with most pellets tested. I did screen the pellets by mass and only had a couple dozen in the 500 count tin that fell outside the +/- 0.2 grain tolerance I set. That has been consistent across multiple tins I have measured. I don't load the outliers for shots that matter. I use them to break in new air guns before I start to assess accuracy.

Very consistent, well made product that deliveries excellent accuracy in my BeemanR9.

Grouping, accuracy, what I perceive as a solid thunk out to 50 yards

Sell me twice as many for the same price?

I have not shot enough H&N pellets to make an informed opinion on the brand. But this pellet happens to be the most accurate in MY rifle. I made sure to break the gun in with a good 40-50 shots before mounting the scope (personal preference). Another several hundred shots later and this is the pellet used to zero with. Once I have a chrono, I can make a better decision on the weight used.

I like how easy it is to get the lid off the tin, once that plastic sealing tape has been dealt with. The round nose is great for older bolt action multi-pumps like my Crosman 160, it won't stick as it is fed in by the bolt probe

Make this FTT line available in different weights for each head size, so I can find one that matches my gun harmonics

Like any firearm ammunition, you should treat all airgun ammo with respect, never throw the pellets at anyone you do not actually wish to harm!

Very accurate out of my Swarm maxxim .22. Work well on squirrels and chipmunks

none

This pellet does not shoot well in my Hatsan Gladius particularly at high power settings (4 thru 6) which is around 750 ft/sec to 930 ft/sec. At power setting 4 which is around 655 ft/sec and 14 ft. lbs. of energy the accuracy improves. I can hold a 3/8" to 5/8" pattern at 20 yds. Other light weight pellets are more consistent and can be shot at higher velocities with tighter patterns.

Nothing. The pellets look good but they are not suited for my rifle.

This same gun shoots the H&N Baracuda Hunter and Baracuda Match with excellent results. I recently had a 3/16" c-c pattern with the Baracuda Hunter at 20 yds. and 5 shots. The Baracuda Match consistently holds 3/8" c-c at 20 yds. On the other hand, the Baracuda Hunter Extreme is very erratic. Conclusion- test and verify the best pellets for your gun.

The weight. It's a dead nuts match for the piranhas. So you get to sight your weapon in using ridiculously cheap ammunition and then kill things with these perfect flawlessly made H&M shots.

If you figure out how to make them better let's do it.

You get what you pay for ,cheep is for small birds. You want the pests gone, you want dinner, results cost money. They are worth it.

Quality of pelled and screw top tin

Nothing

They were very accurate in my modified 1701P and MLR

I found the pellets to be very clean, with little trash in the tin. I also noted the pellets were not damaged or had any skirt damage. I was very pleased with the accuracy of the pellet from one to another thru the whole tin.

I would insure the pellet tins are packed to insure no damage.

You can spend more for pellets, but you will have to look hard to find a better pellet for the money.

Very accurate

Nothing

A lot of knock down power

My experience has been way more often than not that H&N FTT is one of the top "go to" pellets and many other airgunners over the years have reported the same including pro tuners and champion shooters.

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Yes I know there have been some that have experienced damaged pellets, sizing discrepencies, etc. Still it's clear that one is going to have a way better chance way more often going with H&N over the 1,000 pellets for a dollar manufacturers. Also PA does their best to make it right when BPS (Bad Pellet Situation) occurs.

Price.

consistent size, weight and shape

nothing

This pellet used to be sold under the Beeman label but were produced by the current manufacture and are now sold under there label. It's the pellet that my RWS likes the best

Very well made pellets, i shoot them through a modded crosman 1322 carbine, titan NP, and a 2240. Can stack pellets on top of each other at 10 yards, and they go where i want them to at 20 and beyond

The non screw top lid is annoying and the pellets did get dumped at one point. I hear they might have done away with though, great!

Just because these pellets do well for me doesnt mean they will in your gun, but they are so consistent that they should do fine in most guns.

I normally shoot JSB, this is my first time with this brand. They are, overall, consistent in head size, estimating 2-3 out of 50 a touch looser in the barrel. The screw top lid is a nice touch. No deformed skirts yet.

So far, nothing. I'm quite satisfied with the performance in my rifle.

I'm shooting a new fully tuned .22 Xisico XS46U underlever. The 5.53's fit snuggly in the barrel and are starting to group well during this break in period. It's to early to tell if they will produce consistent tight groupings but I'm pleased thus far. I will update this review after the gun smoothes out and I can seriously shoot some 10 shot groups.

Very accurate with HW 95 every shot, and they hit hard.

Just a little snug.

JSB's are good in my 34, but FTT's rule in my HW22 1-1/2" 30 shot groups at 50 yds all day. (Vortex kit) rarely miss beer cans at 90yds. (I am always amazed) 1/4" 5 shot groups 25 yds w/.22 pellets that's a great pellet. (And my favorite gun.)

I had a hard time finding accurate pellets for a theoben crusader in 22 cal until I tried these Now I get one hole at 30 yrd:s very clean pellets

Nothing PERFECT:O

Get a pellet seater thay realy work

That this pellet is available in several different head diameter. 5.53 happen to be the most precise of any pellet I have tested out of one of my guns.

None

I bought these pellets in 5.53 from a suggestion to use in a Xisico XS25 I had recently purchased. I had good luck with the 5.54 version in my old Crosman 140. Well this XS25 didn't like either the 5.53 or 5.54. So I tried it on a whim in another Crosman 140 I own. Wow I have shot 3/8" groups at 28 yards with the FTT 5.53. What is funny about the XS25 is that it likes FTT Power (copper) version of this pellet, go figure (between that in the copper version of the Silver Sting, Excite Coppa-Spitzkugel). If you are thorough in your search, you will be certain to find that 1 pellet that your gun loves if you own a decent quality gun. H&N is the only company to my knowledge that offers the same pellet in different head diameters and they all react differently (and a copper version as well).

My go to pellet for my Air Arms .22 cal springers. The screw top tin is really nice.

Nothing
