H&N Slug HP Sampler, .250 Cal., 5 Types

The three heavier versions shot well in my FX Crown MK2.

The two lightest weights were too short, and thus several entered the chamber canted. Shot poorly. Not to mention the fact they might have damaged the barrel.

This packet is worth trying to fine tune your .25 cal air rifle, but be careful as you load the lighter ones.

Great sample to figure out what your guns' weight preference is.

The packaging and the price. Expensive for how many shots you get but it is cheaper than buying full tins of each weight. The packaging is the worst I have ever seen. Only one of the tubes potentially held onto all of its pellets in transit. The tops readily pop off and even if they were threaded, all of the tubes are cracked down the side. One tube will not hold pellets at all, due to the tube simply being shattered. The other tubes I reinforced with tape.

You will need a scale for these. Looking at the other reviews, this is a common problem for them to arrive opened and mixed. I will need to bring these into work, and spend my lunch break using the scales they have, to sort them.

The uniformity is good and they shoot great out of my Turkish guns. As expected the heavier slugs perform well in the stronger this is what makes the sampler so good.

More security in the sleeve lids and some form of padding. Pyramid Air chose to replace my opened unit because it came apart and I had to weigh and sort. Then the replacement came in the worst condition. I had to weigh and sort every single slug. To be continued at this time.

Don't buy these unless you have a scale. If yours arrives like mine you will have to sort them out yourself. It's hard to spot the difference between 34 and 36 grains. And surprisingly coming open in the box and being shipped loose caused little damage to the projectiles

If sorted by weight and diameter, they will usually stay within an inch at 25 yards so I guess it was not a total loss.

I shot these in my tuned Avenger .25 which is capable of making one ragged hole at 50 yards with either JSB Exact King Heavies or AVS 34 gn dished slugs. Quality control needs more attention. The bases of these slugs was pretty beat up, the plastic cylinders were all cracked and the diameter of the slugs varies too much.

At fifty yards these slugs gave me shotgun patterns. Even after sorting them, the groups were too big due to flyers caused by poor uniformity. I won't be buying these again.

Very uniform with no extra shavings in the hollows. Visual quality in the product.

Better packaging on the sampler. Mine arrived broken. I had to weigh and sort two different vials.

This is the best way to find out which one your gun is going to sling the best.
