H&N Spitzkugel Pellets, .22 Reviews

Very accurate. Deadly. One shot, one kill. I use these for rodent / pest control. The deep penetration seems to drop most anything within a few feet.

Nothing

I use these in a Benjamin prowler. I recommend them. Very few "flyers"

Great accuracy and penetration with Gamo whisper fusion mach 1. About 10% deformed fliers

No deformed pellets and lower price

I liked the shape but they didn't work consistently in my Prod

I tried all different spring settings but they just wouldn't settle down.

they shot ok

The 15.74 grain weight, the pointed head. This pellet flies straight and true without tumble. Accuracy is very good without any fliers. Hard hitting. Good hunting pellet.

Price or count could be better.

This H&N Spitzkugel is the same as the Excite Spike, both are H&N Sport. If you purchase them as Excite Spike, they are less expensive. Accuracy test was conducted with my .22 Ruger Air Magnum. After calibration I was able to hit a 2 inch target at 80 feet with 10 shots into a 1 inch group. Chronographed 5 shots: 812, 827, 821, 823, and 822 fps velocity for an average of 821 fps. Temperature was 29 degrees at 400 feet altitude above sea level. Out of my three .22 caliber air rifles, this pellet is designated to be shot with my Ruger Air Magnum. I recommend this pellet. This is the only pointed pellet that I use as a go-to pellet when hunting. I will/would buy this again. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

Weight/count per can/price

Bought this pellet as a replacement for ones no longer available (Beeman Silver Sting). Appears identical and weight is same. Have not shot yet.

These pellets were a gift, which says it all.

most accurate pellet so far with stoeger x20s. i'm averaging 650 fps with a SD of 2 fps with this pellet. just over 15 FPE. my 5 shot groupings averaged .73 inches at 40 yards.

the picture on your website does not match the product that was sent. i was expecting something akin to the H&N excite spike based on the photo pictured on your website. the weight of the pellets i received is not what is advertised on this website as well. I was expecting 15.74 grain pellets, and I received 16.05 grain pellets both labeled (H&N sport Spitzkugel). that being said i still give this product 5 stars because it is now the "magic pellet" for my stoeger x20s.

they were tight going into the rifle

Precision-made pellets, classic form, good size consistency.

Definitely not heavy enough for the Gamo Swarm Magnum. Grouping at 20 yards was about eight inches! Moving to a 25 grain pellet reduced that to a one inch group. Not the fault of these pellets, but I suspect the Magnum drives them nearly to the speed of sound, to cause such erratic grouping...

That they are a pointed 15.74 grains was the attraction for me. Ideal for my .22 cal. Umarex Octane and Ruger Air Magnum.

Nothing. I bought them for what they are, nothing needs to be changed.

Perfect match for my Umarex Octane, equipped with a super clear CenterPoint 4-16X40AOIR. Power magnification is set on 6X. Zeroed in at 80 feet on 2 inch target stuck on a box. The accuracy of this pellet is superb, has become my go-to Pellet for the Umarex Octane. 5 shot chronographed average is 808 fps. One shot kill on a squirrel at 90 feet. Heard the pellet hit him. He fell over kicking for about 10 seconds, as he bled out. Examination showed the entrance and exit wounds just above his shoulders. This pellet is also sold as the Excite/H&N Spike 15.74 grain pointed pellet. I put the crosshairs on that 5/16 inch bullseye on that 2 inch target and after 20 shots it is gone, nothing but a hole with no evidence what that bullseye looked like, it is as if I can not miss at 80 feet. I WILL buy this again and I do recommend this for magnum powered air rifles. Once I zero my air rifle and scope to a particular rifle I stay with that pellet until it is gone. Get chronograph.

Extremely Accurate. I shot these in an RWS 48 at 30yds. Bulls eye group was the size of a quarter. They shoot similar to the Beeman Silver Sting.

Nothing.

shape

accuracy

after 20 yards they tend to drop with 1000 fps.

H&N pellet in every respect, quality, and manufacture

Nothing

Reason for 2 stars they were very inaccurate in my .22 cal. Titan and Marauder and i will not be buying them again.. not to say other's would not have much better results..

great pellets, good quality

none

great pellets, accurate

The looks and how they perform. Thes and the H&N Baracuda Huner extremes are now my regular serious shooting pellets.

Only larger quaniyies.

I just tested these on 2, 1 gallon plastic milk jugs filled with water with both my Beeman RS2 and my Benjamin Titan. Both almost shot through both jugs. The pellet showed some deformation but not much. They did remain stable completely through their path through the water jugs. I believe they would remain pretty stable on their path through game as well. Of course game would have hide and bone that the water jugs don't. I will never be without several hundred of these pellets and only one place to get them ... PYRAMYD!!!

Best pointed pellet,hard hitting.

Size needs to be a little bigger to fit the barrel tighter.

I have since discovered that not only do my Titan and RS-2 love these things, my 2240 and 1322 love them. In fact a day or so ago I shot a one hole group at 23 yards. At 30 yards the 1322 (1399 stock and 4x30 Beeman scope) held about an inch. These are now my regular serious pellet ...

Only bigger quanities, that is why I just bought 3 cans ...

These things seem fast, real fast. My Beeman is sighted in for 30 yards with Crosman pointed pellets and these hit in the same place or a tad higher. In my Titan (also sighted in for 30 yards with Crosman pointed) they hit about an inch high. I will never be without several hundred of these pellets. And I will always get them from only one place ... Pyramyd!!!

Very uniform, very accurate and resonable priced. They shoot real good in my Beeman RS-2. In fact as accurate as any pellet I have used in it.

nothing really, maybe larger quanities ...

Just an all round good pellet. Real good for hunting. They penetrate very good yet the few I have recovered from game (sqirrels and rabbits) showed fair and uniform deformation. All were one shot kills to the body.

Weight and consistency of pellet

Accuracy, price, quantity.

Of all the pointed pellets out their these shot the best. However, that's not saying much. Rws 350 & 48 were getting 1.50" @ 40yds. And AA S510 looked like a shotgun pattern. My minimum range is 40yrds and max about 125yrds, these just don't cut it. Maybe they do well @ closer distances or in different rifles. I will not purchase these again.

First time I tried this Pellets. Its goes straight to my bulls eye target! I like it better than the dome pellets.

May be make some a little havier. Like 18gr.

I will buy more if there is 500.
