Haendler & Natermann H&N Baracuda Match .177 Cal Reviews
Tell us what you think
Tried a dozen different pellets with my .177 Marauder. These are the most accurate pellets I have found thus far. The H&N FTT shot just as well, just less energy at impact. My Marauder doesn't seem to like the larger diameter pellets. These pellets are very accurate and deliver good energy. I have shot 4 tins through my Marauder and haven't noticed a single flyer yet. Out of the 4 tins I've only found one deformed skirt. I don't mind paying a little extra for this kind of quality, accuracy and a screw on lid. H&N are the best pellets made IMO.
Not one single thing.
As most serious shooters know, there are re-branded versions of this pellet. I'd rather buy "straight from the horses mouth" so to speak. The re-branded versions really aren't much cheaper either. If you are searching for that "special" pellet, these should be the first pellet you try!
No lead dust, pellets are clean and shinny.
Less distortion in the shape of the head. Make then in other head sizes too such as 4.49mm to 4.51mm
I was looking for the best ammo for my HW100. This ammo produce the worst 5-shot group at 25 yards, average group size 0.7 inch. Once in a while, it shoots a flyer. This should not happen for an expensive ammo like this. Other brand of ammo I used in test were, JSB, Crosman, Beeman, and RWS.

Verified BuyerTerrific accuracy!

These paired with Diana two-fifty are giving me ragged hole groups at 19 yds (length of shed).

Verified BuyerGreat accuracy good consistency great shipping as always from PA
Nothing
Much better than crosman worth the price
compared to other pellets, these are VERY consistent in size and weight, and the skirts are thick enough to hold their shape, not nearly as many deformed pellets as some other brands... and they group great in my gun.
A little more lube to seal them, I've had some that oxidized very quickly because they were exposed
Head size matters, grab a sampler and see.

Verified BuyerThie 4.50 mm is my base line pellet in my Diana Model 34's (1996) and (2002), also my Gamo Whisper Fusion Mach 1. The 4.52 mm does better in the Diana 340 N-tec. The slight difference in barrel diameters requires different diameters in pellet selection to ensure that "Goldie Locke's", not to tight / not to lose fit. The consistency in diameter sizing is excellent. I have experienced with other manufactures that the diameter size varies more.
nothing
Almost always produce tight groups.
Nothing.
When I'm testing ammo in a new .177 air rifle, I always start with these. Identical to the old Beeman Kodiak Match pellets.
The go to distance pellet!! wow.
Hitting golf balls from 100 yards. Getting 4-5 inch grouping from 100 yards. Getting hits at 145 yards on 12" target. All on a Crosman Diamondback 177cal break barrel. They do not group as well at 50 yards and under. Go with a different pellet at 25-50 yards imho. Worth the cost if you are a distance shooter!

Very good looking pellet. Clean, haven't found any deformed or damaged. They are very accurate. At 30 yards I have shot several groups that measured 13/16". On most of the groups and probably all that that measured larger than that I always seemed to pull one shot.
The only thing I would change would be the price. I guess they really aren't to expensive but the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum 10.5 gr. shoot almost as good for a cheaper price.
If you have a QB Chief try some I think you will like them.
