DESCRIPTION

H&N Baracuda Match .22 pellets are heavy, precision-manufactured domed pellets designed for powerful air rifles and accurate shooting at longer distances.

The aerodynamic round-nose profile provides stable flight, strong retained energy and effective penetration. A specialised lead alloy helps reduce barrel fouling and supports consistent shot groups, while the precisely selected 5.51mm head diameter provides shooters with a specific fit option for barrel testing.

Each tin contains 200 smooth .22-calibre pellets weighing 21.14 grains.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the 5.51mm measurement mean?

It is the pellet’s precise head diameter. Although the nominal calibre is .22 or 5.5mm, small head-size variations can affect barrel fit and accuracy.

Will these pellets suit every .22 air rifle?

Not necessarily. They are relatively heavy and H&N recommends at least 18.5 ft-lb of muzzle energy. Every rifle should be tested for accuracy, power and magazine compatibility.

Are they suitable for PCP air rifles?

Yes. Their 21.14-grain weight makes them particularly well suited to powerful PCP air rifles, although other sufficiently powerful airgun types may also perform well with them.

What is the recommended maximum distance?

H&N lists a maximum distance of approximately 50 metres. Practical accuracy and effectiveness depend on the rifle, muzzle energy and shooting conditions.

Are Baracuda Match pellets lead-free?

No. They are made from a specialised lead alloy. Wash your hands after handling and store them securely away from children, food and livestock.
