If you’re new to long-range shooting, it is a good idea to test out different air pistols and rifles as well as pellet sizes, shapes, and weights to see which one feels the most comfortable to you and gives you the results you’ll be looking for. Certain pistols, rifles, and pellets are better for short-distance shooting, while others are better for long-distance shooting. When it comes to long-distance shooting, heavier pellets are preferred as they can travel further and will not stray to the left or right as lighter pellets. The H & N Barracuda Air Pellets are heavy, very accurate pellets ideal for long ranges. The 10.65 grams, .177 caliber, smooth pellets have rounded noses and head sizes of 4.5 millimeters. These pellets are renowned for their first-class aerodynamic design and high impact and penetration. This particular tin contains 400 of these H&N Barracuda Air Gun Pellets, a great amount for new shooters who are experimenting with different long-range shooting pellets. For those who find these particular pellets are right for them, we also have these same pellets in 500 count tins.
