Description
H&N Baracuda 5.0mm – heavy pellets for long-range precision
These H&N Baracuda pellets are a heavy projectile at 13.58 grain in 5.0mm caliber. The domed pellet shape provides excellent aerodynamic properties, ensuring stability in flight. These pellets perform best in powerful PCP air rifles from 40 joules upwards, where they can realise their potential at distances of 75 to 100 metres. The lead material contributes to consistent performance and good energy transfer.
Our experience from the Shogun team
The Baracuda series is known for its reliability in precision shooting at longer distances. The heavy weight of 13.58 grain ensures a stable trajectory, even in light wind. The domed shape retains energy well over distance, resulting in predictable groupings. In powerful PCP systems, we see that these pellets maintain their shape and perform consistently at distances between 75 and 100 metres, which is essential for accurate shooting.
Technical features in practice
With a caliber of 5.0mm and a weight of 13.58 grain, these pellets are specifically designed for powerful air pressure systems. The domed pellet shape offers an optimal balance between penetration and stability in flight. The lead material provides sufficient mass and shape retention on impact. Each pack contains 250 pieces, which is more than enough for extensive testing sessions. Testing different grains pays off for optimal accuracy with your specific air rifle. A chronograph gives you immediate insight into the energy output of your setup.
Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?
These Baracuda pellets are designed for shooters who want to shoot at longer distances with powerful PCP air rifles. The heavy weight makes them ideal for systems from 40 joules that can generate sufficient velocity. Competition shooters and precision enthusiasts shooting between 75 and 100 metres will appreciate the consistency and predictability of these pellets. The domed shape makes them suitable for both paper targets and metal silhouettes at the shooting range.
