Has anyone tried them who also uses jsb jumbo heavy for comparison?
Has anyone tried them full stop?
Seems from reviews they are ok, but when reading up on weight and pellet consistency the don't seem to be as good as jsb in the same weight.
After any info ppl have from use please

Hi Kruza, I've used Barracudas in my PCPs. They are a good long distance hunting pellet. I've also used JSBs which also perform well. I would happily use either. I haven't done any scientific comparison sorry. I only really shoot PCP nowadays so can't vouch for springer performance.

Cheers. Its about how the pellet preforms really and its shown consistency in your rifle, and if mine likes them sweet.
But the pellet should be good. Rifle likes the jsb.
Appreciate the feed back.

Kruzaroad I've just put 50 15.89 Hades and the JSB Diabolo Exact 15.89 through the HW and they're hitting the same mark as the Air Arms you sent.  Figures, as the AA pellets are made by JSB.
I ran 20 Exacts over the scales and 20 of the AA Diabolos and the average on both was within 1/100 grain.
The Gamo .22 loves both the hades and the Exacts so I've just bought 12 tins of Exact's and 5 of Hades.  Should last a week or two.

What distance? Didn't find hades held upto extended ranges.
Àa was the power out put. They didn't hold fpe as well as ftt or jsb heavy
Did you run those barracuda 18 i sent down thru any?
Diana didn't like them at all. Which is a shame as they were a good looking pellet.
