Page 2 - H&N Sniper Light, .22 Reviews

H&N quality, accurate, fit good. 2" drop at 75yrds from 20fpe spring gun, makes me get up w/ my chrono buddy. At 25 yrds you cant tell the diff from noise of rifle and pellet hitting target so there haulin butt.

I know there designed for 12 fpe rifles. Wish they'd make a 16g,20g...wish the 18g would finely get here.

Loud, too light for magnums, had to try them any way. But there very accurate w/ my 20fpe springer. The Thin skirt design really expands and seals tight.

This is an excellent performing pellet. I was expecting them to be troublesome in my Sumatra due to the light weight, but I was able to keep them subsonic and found they group excellently, and show unusually tight groups at long rang for such a light pellet. 50 yard groups are 1/2-3/4" and my best 100 yard group was only an inch C-C. These are very nice. Clean and well shaped in the tin.

I already have the Sniper Magnums on order so I can try the heavier version and crank up the power a bit, but I may just buy a couple more tins of these.

Buy them. Not quite as good groups as baracuda match heavies in 5.52 in my sumatra, but they don't drop as much over long range making them easy to shoot at longer distance. Seem to have excellent penetration too. This should be great for light game at range too.

This pellet has worked extremely well in all my .22 pistols and rifles. The pellet fits loose in all my guns, but the back of the pellet is flared out to make tight contact with bore. With a somewhat conical shape,the pellet achieves a ballistic coefficient way beyond any other 14ish grain pellet.Great grouping, and the BC will make it travel farther in less of a arc. No chrony numbers,don't have one. Try this pellet. Should have a pellet seat to flush rear of pellet with bore due to flare.

Maybe offer more head sizes. 5.50 head size I think, but flared rear end will seal bore.

This is a Defiant design from Europe, H&N bought them, now offered by them.

Accurate with Taitan Mutant compact none choke barrel at 865-870fps, no bent skirt, screw on lid with tape.

500 count tin

As a fan of H&N products, I find that these are clean, uniform and highly consistent shooters in my Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk .22 rifle. I have some of the heavier Snipers coming and am interested to see how they will do in the CNVD. I really liked the rear of the pellet for obduration. It is swedged with a series of intersecting flat planes that allow the thinned skirt to soundly interact with the rifling and seal the round in the bore. I am becoming increasingly convinced that the finish of the rear of the pellet is as important as the finish of the front.

Not a thing! H&N has a winner in this pellet, although the Lights did not perform well in my Browning 800 Mag pistol for which I purchased these. The latter likes a stout fitting wadcutter. Used, however, in the CNVD, this pellet is a deadly consistent round.

Much like the JSB Monsters in configuration and every bit as consistent. When the .177s arrive in the Sniper series, it will be a very interesting comparison between these similar pellets. I suspect that they are "twins" born in separate countries!

Very well packaged as always with the pellets they ship. very accurate and uniform.

make them in medium and heavy weights of same caliber and shape.

Nothing

To all air gunners this pellet shoots bulls eye's and tight groups in all gun platforms (spring-gas piston-pcp)regardless of the power. This pellet is made by dynamic which I have used before but they cost 24 bucks from them and only 9 bucks from H&N. This is the bargain of year so far in pellets. Trust and believe me that this is the new go to round.

Get them while you still can because they will sell out Quick. They are that good.

Very, very accurate in the airarms 510 .22, 1/2" groups at 50yds. clean, bore stays clean. less barrel cleaning. the price is just right for the qty of pellets in the tin and its a screw top!

make it in a little more weight for higher power airguns.

the size is 5.50mm but the skirt is made too expand in the bore. it works just fine in a 5.52 bore. works very well in a spring gun as well. GET THIS PELLET! Keep the speed under 900 fps
