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.
  • Faster Stabilization: Designed for faster spin stabilization, ensuring improved accuracy and tighter groupings.
  • Versatile Performance: Suitable for target shooting up to 40 meters and pest control up to 30 meters.

 

Specifications:

  • Ballistic Coefficient: 0.026*
  • Available Weight: ~8.44 grain (0.55g)
  • Available Head Size: ~4.51mm
  • Quantity: ~500
  • Recommended For: Target shooting up to 40 meters and pest control up to 30 meters.
  • Not Recommended For: Long-range pest control.

 

Important Notes:

  • Ballistic Coefficient numbers are approximate and may require adjustments for your specific airgun setup.
  • Quantities are based on weight and may vary slightly.
  • For the most accurate weight measurements, we recommend using digital jewellery scales.

 

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.

    Hi Shaun,

    Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear Royal Mail hasn't delivered your parcel yet, especially given your friend received his so promptly. Unfortunately, delays or lost items can occasionally happen with any courier service, and in this case, it looks like your parcel may have gone missing in transit.


    We’ve already arranged for your order to be re-issued, and in the meantime, you're welcome to lodge a complaint directly with Royal Mail here: Royal Mail Complaints (https://help.royalmail.com/personal/s/article/Personal-complaints-process).


    Once you’ve had a chance to try the Baracuda 8 pellets, we’d really appreciate it if you could update your review to reflect the product itself—this helps other customers make an informed choice.


    Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
