Probly had the sniper for ages too.
Very light weight for pellet design. Which I'm sure is a heavy in other brands.

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?

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.
