Stuart1985 256 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Evening I bought some new pellets the other day (Baracuda Hunter Extreme .22) so after work yesterday I tried them out on the paper targets. Was pleased with the groups I was getting (5 shots covered by 1p) at 30 yards. so went a walk on my closest permission to my house as the sun was out. Had a scan of the areas that usually have rabbits jumping about and nothing about. Sat In the shade for about 45min near the woods and was visited by my first grey squirrel of the year The pellet made a solid crack as it struck the skull and on closer inspection I seen why!!!!!!. http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/stuart19852/D4284AF6-DDFD-41B7-9CC4-B605C9D53C78-1202-000000978F03D646_zps01a238a1.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/stuart19852/120F5316-BECE-4DE5-858F-EE13DDA69C2A-1202-00000097863BD751_zpsd6096dc3.jpg Happy with the pellets going to try them out tomorrow night on the rabbits.

Mawders 595 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 That's one hell of a shot, those pellets do some damage it would seem! If your gun likes them then happy days! Quote Link to post
woodcote1 88 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hope its going in the pot. How loopy is the trajectory? Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Bloody hell bud them .22 pellets are nearly the same weight as My .25 H & N FTT 19.91 gr Tried the ones out in .25 but far to heavy at 28 gr more for FAC Guns in .25 cal, Same damage though as what my gun achieves. atvb Daz 7. 1 Quote Link to post
Stuart1985 256 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 The pellet is grouping great so ill see how they do with the rabbits, I know some pellets are gimmicks but this just shows what a sub 12 air rifle is capabile of, all that matters is a quick clean kill and with that accuracy is paramount 1 Quote Link to post
porkycrook 466 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hello Stuart you have saved me time because I have just brought a tin of the same pellet and was going out one day this week to check them in my AA410. But your test seem to show that they do what they are designed for. 1 Quote Link to post

TimS 49 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Great idea for a pellet but I found the groupings suck beyond 25yds in my MK4. Then again, they were .177. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Tried these in .177 in my R10 VC and are very very good 1 Quote Link to post
