One of the best .177 pellet ever used. Accurate and deadly.

Don't be afraid to purchase this pellet.

Very constant accuracy and weight. It shoots very well out of my Gamo hornet air rifle. Good accuracy up to 60 feet haven’t shot up beyond that point they open up and mushroom very nicely. I’ve killed four squirrels with it.

I would change nuthing maby little cheeper

Theses are laser accurate out of my gamma hornet I’m shooting them at speeds around 800 P about 22 or 23 foot pounds. I’m not real sure on the foot pounds but they are amazing they work well they’re tag drivers their squirrel killers.

Good amount nice weight seem like they will take care of squirrel problem at bird feeder

make lid a bit stronger it got bent up prying packing tape off it

wanted heavy pellet hoping noise would be less only shot 2-3 times rifle pretty loud

In my Diana 350, by far its best pellet and have tried countless others. Good weight which is mandatory for a .177 pellet in a Diana 350. I have shot numerous dime sized groups at 40 yards with this gun/pellet combo.

Nothing

My particular 350 gets 970 fps and 20 fpe with this pellet, tremendous. But beware the one drawback to the Hunter Extreme is its ballistic coefficient isn't great as I've shot over the chronograph at range. Even with the 20 fpe start I never take shots on small game over 45/50 yards.

I bought these just to test them out. So far, I can say they are a bit heavy for my match guns. My R1 likes them "ok" but nothing spectacular. They do work out of my HW55.

I could not get good consistent expansion. They might want to piddle with the front design to get it to open up with a slower velocity.

So far none of my rifles just loves these. They don't do badly but not the best accuracy I want. Only my R1 can open up the hollowpoint consistently.

Excellent accuracy and impressive expansion out of an RWS Diana 460 Magnum. I gel block tested six of the highest rated hollow points I could find, and coming out of that rifle these were the most impressive by far. Excellent expansion and a gnarly wound channel every shot. They also fly as straight as anything I've found.

Nothing.

Remember, your mileage my vary as certain guns like certain ammo, but I can guarantee you that you'll be hard pressed to find a better match for a Diana 460 Magnum. Out of that rifle, these will stop a squirrel like a .22LR.

love expansion in clay 850 fps.

more for the money

great with bee-man air guns

All

None

On 15 yards 9 out of 10 goes to same hole cant ask for more

Shoots well, groups well

Make it a 500ct can

1. Accuracy: With other pellets my Ruger/Umarex springer will hold the 10 ring of a 50ft timed/rapid fire pistol target at 50 feet. Not great but OK. These pellets will stay within the X-ring and shoot a ragged hole you can cover with a shirt button. They shoot like H&N match pellets which is darn good. 2. Knockdown: Thanks to their extra weight and meplat design a critter you shoot doesn't run away. It stays where it is because it's dead.

Nothing I can think of.

Works excellent in my Crosman 2100.

Nothing

Try them.

I shoot a springer with open sights and couldn't get crosman premier piranha 10.5 gr pellets to group. I replaced the trigger spring with a home made bearing and was able to get most pellets in a 3" circle at 25 yrds. I tried diabolo exact 8.44 and sprayed them around the 3" target and was about to give up on my springer but the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 9.57 gr hollowpoint pellets were hitting the same hole sighting them in and at 25 yrds I get half inch groups shooting with shooting sticks. I'm still amazed

Uniformity

?

Most accurate pellet that I have found for my Diana 350 Magnum .177 cal. Very uniform and fits tightly in the breech.
No fly away shots, they are right on.

Excellent pellets. They are very uniform and consistent. My air rifles love them!

None

Go shooting!

No issues. Very accurate pellet as well deadly design.

None

No

Very consistent and accurate. I can reliably group in a dime sized group at 20 yards (see photo)

I used these in a Benjamin Armada pumped to 2500 PSI and these pellets group very consistently at that pressure. These will be my standard pellet from now on.

well made

this is a really good product works like a charm I like to use them in my break barrel really packs a punch

wouldn't change anything about this product

great product works fantastic and customer service can't be beat

Quality; quantity; durable tin with screw-on top; tough skirts that don't bend easily

Nothing

I use these in my Benjamin Marauder Field and Target with .177 Lothar-Walther barrel. They shoot very accurately. However, the best part is that they actually function as claimed. I have fired them into bar soap, apples and oranges at 865 fps, and they expand wonderfully. They literally blow the fruit into pieces. I will definitely use them for pest elimination. These are a great pellet. Buy with confidence.
