Cheers js. I was wondering if they might be just a cheap knock off, to try and gain market. Which may or may not be the case.
But I'm also wary of H&N tolerances and guess a light long body pellet is going to be much more wind sensitive.
Think will save the money for pellets the gun likes.

Ive not seen the Barracuda 8 before - they look like theyre trying to nab some JSB users. Id be interested to try them...

The H&N Sniper series was from when H&N took over Defiant brand pellets, I bought a pack of the lights from UK as the barrel shape of the pellets was similar to the JSB Heavies I was favouring at the time.. They didnt do too well for me so never bothered with them again - stuck to what worked.
The magnums have a longer fatter shape so may work better than the lights, probably in a mid-powered PCP or high power springer.

I believe they are now discontinued by H&N?

Very light weight for pellet design. Which I'm sure is a heavy in other brands.

Not sure. I've got a sneaky feeling it was on Tilly's gunstocks.
A Brazilian pellet maybe. Or might have been those exact I brought and stocked up on. That batch was insane good tolerances. Got a 1000 odd sorted and stashed for emergency or if all these wars start taxing the lead supply.

Haven't heard of those snipers kruza.

I was trying to remember those pellets you were talking to me a while back that had incredible reviews? Can't remember for the life of me what they were

H&N Sniper Magnum .22 (5.5mm)
Has anyone tried these?
14.97gr. there's a light version as well.
It's long bodied and I'm a bit curious as it's still a pretty light wieght.
