So I found this site on the web, the most comprehensive pellet data base on web, it recons, and it needs pellet info. It looks like a great idea and I know quite a few of you guys have pellet data ( mercs you've kept notes of various pellets I believe, and I'm sure a lot of have) Looks like they could be onto a good thing, with a little help. I've linked to the pellet list so you'll need to head back to main page to overview site. https://airgunpelletdb.com/a-to-z/ |

No wonder Gamo make a lot of not so good pellets, they make 51 differnt pellets! 98 for h&n that's rediculous. A dozen well made pellets and more pumped out would be better for cost and quality. Explains why soamynof Thiers are crap too. |

...not to mention the BSA are made by Gamo, and H&N probably make other brands aswell! ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others... Current projects: Too many.. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

It could have been H&N barracuda 8. I açtually think it was. I'd never heard of them but they were getting good ass reviews from ppl |

I think they have. 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? ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

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. |
