Green H&N FTT Pellets

   The 100% lead free has a cost.

H&N FTT Green $35 per tin (200) = 17.5 cents each
H&N FTT Lead $20 per tin (250) = 8 cents each

I found the Green pellets cleaned or stripped the bore requiring leading in of subsequent pellets.
At greater distance the accuracy quickly deteriorates.
With higher shot counts the accuracy deteriorates.
Tin is labelled "For PCP rifles only" and I have requested an explanation from H&N.
Web site has the green alloy containing tin, zinc, iron and plastic.

Outdoors 20 yards, poor conditions with light rain and breeze from right.
Norica ZRS using Zero Tech Vengeance scope on 16 power.
Pellet H&N FTT Green 0.62g 5.50mm 3 shot group 11.94mm OD

Outdoors 20 yards, poor conditions with light rain and breeze from right.
Norica ZRS using Zero Tech Vengeance scope on 16 power.
Pellet H&N FTT 0.95g 4.53mm 3 shot group 11.41mm OD

25 yards indoors practice session, inward scoring 4 shot groups with measured OD.
Mixed results and not competitive with several other springer users shooting 200's.
POA centre with no correction, the lighter pellet may actually need a different rifle or technique.

I will check at higher velocity and undertake chronograph checks.

	It would be interesting to find out why only pcp. One or two in pocket could provide a quick barrel in clean in field though from sounds of it. That extra 5 yards really opened the group up.

	Just pulled this off the web mercs. Be interesting to see if they give a similar reply. Hardness and Sealing Issues: Unlike soft lead, the tin alloy in FTT Green pellets does not deform easily to form a seal in the barrel, which can cause them to lodge in the barrel of lower-powered springers or CO2 guns. Pressure Differences: PCPs deliver a sharp blast of air that propels the pellet instantly, whereas springers build pressure more gradually. Safety/Warranty: To prevent user complaints about stuck pellets and potential damage claims, H&N recommends them only for PCP rifles. Effectiveness: These pellets are designed for maximum accuracy at shorter ranges (around 30 meters) compared to lead counterparts.
