Baracuda Hunter Extreme | 5.5mm | 18.52gr | 200pcs | H&N

Baracuda Hunter Extreme – heavy pellets for long-range precision

These H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme pellets are specially developed for shooters seeking maximum precision and penetration at greater distances. With a caliber of 5.5mm and a weight of 18.52 grains, these are among the heavier projectiles in their class. The deep hollow point with cross-shaped indentation ensures excellent energy transfer on impact. These features make them particularly suitable for PCP air rifles from 40 joules, where you can expect reliable performance at distances of 75 to 100 metres.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, these Baracuda Hunter Extreme pellets stand out due to their stable trajectory, even under less than ideal conditions. The higher weight of 18.52 grains gives the projectile a predictable ballistic path that is less sensitive to wind drift. The aerodynamic design in combination with the hollow point construction ensures a balanced flight while maintaining precision, even at distances around 75-100 metres. This consistency makes them popular among shooters who value repeatability in their shooting results.

Technical features in practice

The 5.5mm caliber combined with 18.52 grains weight results in a projectile that performs optimally in powerful air pressure systems. The hollow point pellet shape with cross-shaped indentation not only improves energy transfer but also contributes to stability during flight. The lead material offers the right balance between mass and malleability for consistent performance. With 200 pieces per package, you have more than enough ammunition for extensive testing sessions. It is worthwhile to use a chronograph to test different fill pressures – every air rifle has its own preferences regarding projectile weight for optimal accuracy.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These heavy pellets are ideal for experienced shooters with PCP air rifles from 40 joules who are looking for maximum precision at medium to long ranges. They are perfectly suited for precision shooting where consistency and predictability are crucial. Thanks to the hollow point design, these pellets are also suitable for rat control and pest control, where the effective energy transfer ensures a humane dispatch. Please note: the use of air rifles for pest control is legally regulated. In many cases, an exemption or hunting licence is required, and this is only permitted for recognised pest controllers or certified users.
