Page 3 - H&N Field Target, .22 Reviews

I have two rifles that like larger head diameter pellets. There are not many suppliers that offer large head diameters. This pellet meets that requirement.

Head diameter variation.

Measuring head diameter is a must to seperate pellets that have different points of impact.

I measured several and found perfectly consistent head size: 5.55mm as advertised.

Nothing.

These fit snugly in by Beeman R9 and deliver the smallest groups of any pellets I've tried in that gun.

well made pellets, so far my 22 mrod seems to like these with the 5.55 head size best. Nice that they come in 500 count with a screw top lid

Fired about 80 of them a few days ago, loaded one at a time. Not one was deformed. Very accurate.

Nothing, I liked these a lot and will buy more.

Quality is worth the money paid. 500 shots. Pretty sweet.

Very uniform pellets and I havent'found bent skirts yet...

200 or 250 tin would be nice too...

I was having a hard time trying to get the right pellet for my synrod 22. from now on this is the pellet I will use for hunting... 1 1/4 inch groups @50 yards

available in several headsizes 5.51 through 5.55 clean and consistant weights and sizes

less costly ? lol

maruader 22 owners use these to find the head size their particular gun needs to obtain consistan poi (5.55 and 5.54 for me)

Clean well made pellet with no defects in the ones I've had, reasonably priced, and have a screw on top. These are the most accurate pellets out of my Diana 350 Magnum.

Nothing.

Just by switching to this head size really made a difference in the groups I was getting with this particular rifle.

My Beeman R9 performs best with these pellets in the 5.55 head size, both in accuracy and in velocity.

Nothing

My R9 velocity with stock spring using this 5.55 head size is about 735 fps. With Vortek spring it is 705 fps.

Good performance in my hatsan striker 1000s. I was getting half inch groups at 20 yards.

Nothing

The hatsan died while shooting these! I think the gun is poorly made and while it shoots fine when new, it isn't built to last (poor barrel lockup and a broken mainspring after six months of shooting, about 6000 pellets). If this poorly made gun can shoot these pellets this accurately, they are certainly worth a try in any gun. The crosman 2240 shoots these very well, and they load easily.

Nothing with this head size (5.55).

Accurate head sizing please.

My HW95 likes the FTT 5.53 and 5.54. These two sizes seem to be pretty consistent. I bought one tin of the 5.55 to try, and was sad to find that some pellets practically fall into the breech and others fit snug. No consistency with head sizes in this batch of pellets, unfortunately, ordered in March 2015.

Excellent value for the bucks and accurate as well in my Hatsan Mod 95

nothing

pellets arrive in excellent shape, no deformed ones that I could find. The most accurate pellet I have shot so far in my .22 synrod. On a still day I can shoot 1/4" five shot groups at 25 yds. At 50 they shoot 1/2 to 3/4". They probably shoot better with a different shooter!

These are close to perfect as is, but if I could I would make them cheaper.

If you have not tried these, be sure to give them a try, you may find you have a new favorite pellet.

Quality pellet that is very consistant

Nothing

I have put close to 3000 of these thru a 22 cal. Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper. I have taken crows, chipmunks, pidgeons, starlings, groundhogs, squirrels, sparrows, and frogs with the above combo and they have always preformed great for me.

H&N are consistent, and a decent compromise shape for field, "hunting" vermin of the air, etc.

nil

I greatly enjoy the old BSA Airsporter Mk1's, which were cut to a 5.6mm bore size, not 5.5mm. Now that the original Wasp pellets are long gone, and the new pseudo-Wasp units are even less than 5.5mm (head diamter, on average), these H&N's are the largest head size I have been able to find to use in these old beasts. Not surprisingly, they shoot the best of modern pellets. All my kids have learned with these, and they can't "graduate" to larger arms till they can shoot competently with the airguns, so they actually care a lot about the accuracy of different ammo.

I like that the Field Target is available in several different head sizes. The 5.55mm delivered superior groups than the 5.53mm pellets. The slightly larger head size eliminated flyers in my airgun.

Nothing

The 5.55mm head size is harder to seat in the barrel, but the accuracy gain is worth it.

The consistency and uniformity is great and the pellets are clean.

Nothing.

I chose the 5.52 head size and was only able to obtain 1" groups at 25 yards with these H&N FTT. I am averaging .35" groups at 50 yards with JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy pellets and have gotten several sub .22" groups with them at that range as well. The JSB pellets also have a 5.52 head size.

I realize that different brands may have different skirt thicknesses or other factors that can make another head size work better than the same head size in another brand. That being said, I'm planning on trying a larger head size such as 5.54 or 5.55 to see how that effects accuracy in my gun. I'm happy with the performance of the JSB pellets I'm using but I just want another option for extreme accuracy. The H&N FTT pellets with a larger head size may do it for me.

Anyone trying out these pellets who is unhappy with the performance they are getting might want to try out a different head size. That may change their opinion.

I like the weight consistency of these pellets. I weighed 25 at random and all were 14.66gr. Amazing. They smack a dime at 20 yards consistently.

Not a thing. Wish they came in bulk boxes.

I applied a very thin coat of Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lube, (Bullet Wax for lead cast bullets) to my pellets and let them dry out a few days. These pellets keep wax adhered well and increased my velocity by 72 fps per chrony readings. Extremely accurate pellet.

Very consistent once dialed in. I actually meant to get these in .553 diameter, but clicked the wrong box. Still very accurate, but had to adjust my scope quite a bit to get zeroed. Probably due to my bore being new, maybe. Anyway, once dialed in they go where they are pointed.

Can't think of anything, really. Price isn't too bad for a 500 count tin.

Since I don't have a chrony, I really don't know how much, if any, the .555 head size affects fps. Should be great for an older rifle that may have some wear.

super accurate,great quality.

nothing

Grouping and take down power quality as with any h&n pellet

Nothing

Had a lot of flyers in my gun but they still made for 1" at 40 yards
