H&N Silver Point, .177 Reviews

I love the design. They should be great to take down any rabbits.

They should be made to be accurate. I had sighted the Diana 34 using the H&N Field Target Trophy pellets at 30 yards. 4 shots on a row with a pattern of 1/2". When we tried out the Silver Point they were off by 3" consistently. We went back to the Field Target Trophy s again and the accuracy was back. These Silver Points are pretty much useless. Too bad cuz they would have made a great hunting pellet.

The tin of pellets would make a great paper weight.

The weight and shape of these pellets works great in my gun. Good groups out to 60 yards so far. My gun shoots them at around 930 fps.

Nothing

If you own a springer that shoots lighter pellets to fast. Try these your groups will tighten up

Perfect for my RWS 350 Magnum N- Tec Classic .177 great groups will buy more...

Buy different grains and brands to see what your gun likes then stick with that brand.

Great penetration/punch ratio. Packs a wallop. One of my favorites. Very hard-hitting. Nice tight fit in my chamber. Very consistent in can.

A 1-2 gn increase and sell as a magnum version perhaps.

You should try this pellet. It sure is fun punching through my homemade ballistic gel and knocking down cans behind it.

I like the concept of the shape weight

I didn't get a chance to use my up with my gun to a 22 caliber but had to return them cuz they were 177

Nope

Has a powerful looking design. 11.57 grain point. Screw on lid.

Price could be better for 500.

I shot tested this pellet with my .177 Umarex Octane, regular non no-Shox. In accuracy, after taking about 15 warm up shots to calibrate and get into the groove, I had a box, about 30x18 inches with a round 3 inch stick on target with a 1&1/4 inner circle with a 5/8 inch diamond shape bullseye. I hit the 3 inch target with 22 pellets. 4 pellets the bullseye with the other 19 hitting well within the 3 inch target, which was 80 feet away. Using my ProChrono Digital I chronographed 5 shots at 838, 850, 843, 861, and 854 fps, averaging 848.6 fps. The Umarex 3-9X40AO scope was set on 5X power. There were no fliers or damaged pellets. Altitude is approximately 400 feet above sea level, 63 degrees temperature, 90% humidity with calm wind. This pellet performed VERY well in both shooting tests. The should be better, but that is due to name brand. Despite that I recommend this pellet. Based on performance, I would buy again. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

Accuracy penetration.these hits rats blood runs out heavy.

Nothing at all

You can't go wrong with these

The design and weight are the reason I purchased this pellet. Price, $15.99 for 500, not bad. Screw on top. Accuracy.

Would not change anything, but wish they ALSO had a dome version, would have purchased that as well.

I purchased this pellet exclusively for my .177 caliber Umarex Octane and Ruger Air Magnum Air Rifles. The Octane had a 5 shot average of 864 fps, the Ruger Air Magnum 5 shot average of 883 fps. Both chronograph tests were conducted the same time in 71 degree temperatures at approximately 200 ft elevation. With both rifles, these currently are the pellet of choice. Very accurate at 80 feet, hitting inside the 1 inch circle consistently. Accuracy will continue out to 100 feet. Beyond that I will make mildot elevation adjustments. I recommend this pellet. I have chronographed this pellet with 5 other less powerful air rifles, but the above two, Umarex Octane and Ruger Air Magnum are suited to shoot a pellet of this weight. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.

Not sure why these are so expensive but hey, I won't lie. That's why I bought them. What stood out, other than the price was the pellet weight at 11 or so grains. I wanted to see how my Benjamin Trail pistol would handle the difference. Not so well it seems. Way more ricochets than usual. Oh well, just one more reason to get that 1400 FPS rifle I guess. :)

Make em pointier.

Nice tin.

A little tight in the chamber of both my guns. Takes a hard push to seat them, and I find a pellet seater is a minor pain.

I have an Air Arms TX200 and Gamo BIg Cat 1200. The Big Cat is very picky about pellets, only shooting JSB Exact Diabolo 8.44gr and H&N Barracuda Match 10.65gr well. I'm not at all suprised the Big Cat will not shoot this pellet. I am surprised my AA TX200 won't shoot it either. It will shoot close to dime sized groups at 20yd with several brands and weights of pellets, but it this one gets quarter sized groups at best. Your gun may differ, but I would try other pellets first.

I have shot them out of my modded 1377's and they hit there mark no prob dusted many a starling with them .I don't own a crony so I don't know what the fps is but I know I can kill rabbits with my 1377 with hese I have bagged on at about 10yards.I have not tested them in my break barrels yet.

drop the price.

Ya won't know what your gun like to shoot til ya try them, so try them.

The fact it is an H&N pellet, screw top lid, quality of and appearance of pellet

Nothing

These were very poor in accuracy with my Benjamin Regal, but may do well in your sir rifle..

These are extremely accurate from my .177 Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper IGT Air Rifle with enough weight for the whisper to really work.

Please, leave them alone.

I use a Air Venturi loader so I don't have issues with skirt deformation. With this pellet the whisper function brings the sound down to what my Beeman/Webley .177 Tempest sounds like when using the Gamo Platinums. Way backyard friendly.

Heavy weight

Most accurate pellet I have found for my smoothbore M35 at 30 ft range. More accurate than BBs in my gun.

Hits chipmunks and red squirrels hard!

Nothing

Had these in a H&N pellet sampler and after trying many .177 pellets in my brothers early 90's Benjamin pump 397, these H&N Silver Points shoot AMAZING! Other pellets shot well but these were stacking on top of each other at 15 and 20 yards. It should be noted the 397 was rebuilt and steroided by Mac 1 air guns. For testing we only pumped the gun the normal 8 pumps.

More than one red squirrel and chipmunk has fallen to the 397 now!

shape of pellet itself

i dont know

again pellets seem to be in good shape, so far with H&N pellets i found very few defective pellets, 25 yards 8 in circle pretty much a streight line down in springer, will use in my pcp.

the shape when i bought these i was kind of not expecting what i expected i thought they would be like the rabbit magnums but they arnt these are really really accurate

nothing at all

Not much of anything. Poor quality, bad skirts, high cost for what you get. If I wanted a shoot gun these would be the pellets I would use. Shot these through my Gamo Whisper, Air Arms Mk III, Benjamin Marauder all in .177 Cal. The Gamo did the best of the three only because I did not expect it to do very good. Shooting these through the Air Arms and Marauder did nothing but waste my time: Group of 2-4" at 30 yards on a sand bag.

Overall quality control.

If these work in your gun go ahead and use them. If you know someone who has some try theirs before you spend your money on a full can.

Using these out of a Gamo Bone Collector 177 i had excellent consistency and accuracy, with quarter sized groups at 25 yards. A good overall weight for a air gun such as the bone collector or anything with some velocity behind it. I have a pan set up in my back yard, and these seem to smack it pretty good, sounds like someone hitting a baseball out of the park.

Nothing, decent pellets overall.

Straight forward 4/5 pellet. Excellent for hunting medium sized critters like a ground hog/porcupine/rabbit/skunk anything with a tougher mass and bone structure than a squirrel or bird.

Nice quality, no damaged skirts.

They would simply not fit in my airgun, maybe I got a bad batch or something but they did not fit in my RWS 34.
