H&N's Baracuda 8 pellets represent an exciting innovation in pellet design, combining a lighter weight with a smaller-than-average head size. This unique approach aims to reduce barrel friction, allowing for faster speeds and improved flight stability. These pellets are ideal for lower-powered air rifles, enabling faster stabilization and tighter groupings. Whether you're into target shooting or medium-range pest control, the Baracuda 8 is a solid choice for shooters who want consistency and performance without the heavier weight of traditional pellets.
Key Features:
- Lighter Weight & Smaller Head Size: Reduces friction in the barrel for increased speed and better accuracy in lower-powered rifles.

- Versatile Performance: Suitable for target shooting up to 40 meters and pest control up to 30 meters.

Recommendation:
The H&N Baracuda 8 pellets are well-suited for shooters who need a faster, more accurate pellet in lower-powered air rifles. With their small head size and lightweight design, they are ideal for those seeking improved groupings at medium-range targets and for pest control. However, they may not be effective for long-range pest control due to their design.
