H&N Baracuda 5.5mm pellets - 21.14gr heavy pellets

H&N Baracuda – Heavy pellets for long distances with PCP air rifles

These Baracuda pellets from H&N, with their 21.14 grain in 5.5mm caliber, are developed for shooters who want maximum precision at longer distances. The aerodynamic design with a domed pellet shape ensures a stable flight, while the weight of these projectiles allows them to retain their energy effectively. Ideal for PCP air rifles from 40 joules that deliver enough power to make optimal use of this heavier ammunition.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, we find that these Baracuda pellets perform excellently from 50 metres and beyond. The special oil coating applied by H&N ensures consistent lead deformation, which translates into reliable groupings on the target. The heavier weight of 21.14 grain makes them less sensitive to wind at longer distances, keeping your flight path predictable well beyond 75 metres.

Technical properties in practice

With a 5.5mm caliber, 21.14 grain weight, and a domed pellet shape, these lead projectiles offer an excellent balance between penetration and energy transfer. The packaging contains 200 pieces, sufficient for extensive testing sessions. The domed shape ensures optimal aerodynamics at longer distances, while the heavier weight allows the projectile to retain its energy well during flight.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These Baracuda pellets are designed for the advanced shooter with a powerful PCP air rifle. They perform best in air rifles from 40 joules that can properly drive the mass of these projectiles. Perfect for field target competitions at longer distances or precision shooting where consistency is crucial. It pays to test different grains for your specific air rifle – a chronograph can provide valuable insight into the energy output.
