H&N Sport pellets, recognized for high precision and aerodynamics

H&N Sport pellets are manufactured in Germany under strict quality controls, using a precise alloy of lead and antimony that balances malleability and hardness.

Pure lead: Provides a perfect fit in the barrel and promotes accuracy.
Antimony: Improves hardness, avoiding deformations in high-power shots or long distances.
Additionally, some models feature special coatings, such as copper on the H&N Baracuda Power, which reduces debris buildup and increases efficiency in PCP rifles. These features ensure superior performance, whether hunting, competition or recreational shooting.

The weight of the pellet, measured in grains or grams, influences speed, precision and kinetic energy (joules). Choosing the ideal weight depends on the power of your rifle and its use.

Recommendations for caliber and power:
.177 caliber (4.5mm):

10-16 joules: Light pellets (6.5-8 grains) like H&N Field Target Trophy for fast trajectories.
16-24 joules: Medium pellets (8-10 grains) like H&N Baracuda Match for precise shots.
>24 joules: Heavy pellets (>10 grains) for PCP rifles at long distances.
.22 caliber (5.5mm):

10-16 joules: Light pellets (12-15 grains) for short distances.
16-30 joules: Medium pellets (15-18 grains) like H&N Field Target Trophy for versatility.
>30 joules: Heavy pellets (>18 grains) like H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme for forceful impact on hunting.
Improper weight can cause loss of energy or inaccuracies, so it is important to adjust the pellet to the power of your gun.

For Hunting:
H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme: Ideal for small game hunting at medium distances. Its expansive design maximizes energy transfer.
H&N Crow Magnum: Perfect for medium-high power rifles. Its hollow point generates a lethal impact at short distances.
H&N Baracuda Power: Copper-plated for greater penetration and durability, ideal for high-powered PCP rifles.
For Competition:
H&N Finale Match Light: Designed for Olympic shooting at 10 meters, it guarantees perfect groupings.
H&N Field Target Trophy: Stability and precision for Field Target and Benchrest at long distances.
H&N Slug HP: Advanced ballistics for high-power PCP rifles, offering extreme precision in long-distance competitions.
The choice depends on the objective: extreme precision in competition or maximum impact in hunting.

Pellet compatibility depends on the caliber, barrel rifling design, and power of your gun. Some practical tips:

Correct caliber: Check if your gun uses .177 (4.5 mm), .22 (5.5 mm) or another.
Diameter tests: Some pellets such as H&N Baracuda Match offer options (4.50 mm, 4.52 mm) to optimize the fit to the barrel.
Adjust the weight to the power:
Low power (10-16 joules): Light pellets for straight trajectories.
Medium power (16-30 joules): Medium pellets for versatility and precision.
High power (>30 joules): Heavy pellets for stability and maximum energy.
Testing different H&N Sport options and adjusting based on the results is key to getting the most out of it.
