No such thing as too much lube…

By the way guys, thank you for dispelling my fears re my rifle and educating me on the finer points of pellet loading systems. Your experience and willingness to share it is invaluable - I can no longer worry about more force required to chamber some pellets but instead just reach for the lube to manage the issue... just like my last girlfriend said :-)  ]]> Mon, 09 Dec 2024 06:57:27 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11655#11655 FX Cyclone pellet feed issue : In regard to the feeding from... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11570#11570 Author: Pauly5

In regard to the feeding from the mags, I would imagine the hunter extreme type with harder ridges on the head could feed a bit rougher.]]> Fri, 29 Nov 2024 08:54:48 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11570#11570 FX Cyclone pellet feed issue : Too right Pete,But there seem... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11569#11569 Author: JasonEdward

Hi Mark,
Yes H&N have a whole range of pellets under the “baracuda” name.
And that’s why we try as many different makes, models, head sizes and weights of pellets as we can in a rifle, till you find the one that the rifle likes 👌🏻]]> Fri, 29 Nov 2024 05:29:33 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11567#11567 FX Cyclone pellet feed issue : The ones I can think of are Hunter,... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11564#11564 Author: Pauly5

The ones I can think of are Hunter, Match, green and extreme .

All versions of Barracuda. Plus I think they come in different weights. 15, 18 and 21 grain.

You might be onto something wit the lube Wink

There are a few different Barracuda types. The ones I used were smooth domed. I do wonder if the harsher ridges on the hunter extreme make it harder too?

Even more interesting.

The "feel" of H&N baracuda pellets compared to JSB AFTER fresh silcon was that I can now push the pellets into the breech but with more force than required with the JSB. Which makes perfect sense given what you both tell me.

But it was only a few hundred shots ago that I lightly siliconed the mags and I didn't remove the o Rings as i did this time so lube is definitely on the INSIDE of the O rings now.

The pellets are Baracuda "Long Range Hunting" at 10.65g, the same weights as pellets labelled Baracuda "Hunter Exteme" in a sample pack - are these marketing names for the same pellets? What weight are your Baracuda Match Pauly - on the H&N site they are also 10.65....?

In my short 18m back yard shooting the change to heavier pellets has no impact on POI but I'm sure further out things would be different...

Maybe lube is the answer to all of the worlds problems????? LOL  ]]> Tue, 26 Nov 2024 04:56:11 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11556#11556 FX Cyclone pellet feed issue : When I had a Cyclone I tried H&N... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1132&PID=11555#11555 Author: Pauly5

When I had a Cyclone I tried H&N Baracuda and experienced exactly that. Silicon solved the issue. 
They were very accurate for me too. I was using the Baracuda match.
