Help with these Baracuda Match .177 HnN

[tstrever]

So my Father Dick Strever has these Baracuda Match .177 HnN pellets. These are marked with TM. < For TM/HM1000 > i know he usually marked his pellets according to which rifle they shot great out of. He had a few TM1000s, Anyways my question < cause i cant find them online anywhere > Are these good pellets? IF so how do i determine the Grain size also ? These are his unopen tins. and yes they are for sell if anyone is interested.

You could weigh a pellet if you have an open tin to determine the grain. I would think they are good pellets for him to have that many on hand. You will have to put a price on them.

I do have 2 open Tins. I will do that in a few. thank you. < not that smart to think of weighing lol ..

 

[tstrever]

10.26gr

Now all you have to do is set your price and see if you get a buyer

I found them on Amazon H&N round nose, but they are 10.65 gr. priced at $21.69 for a tin of 400. with free shipping with prime. If that helps you.

I go through a lot of the .22 Match. The best bang for your buck pellet made. All my .22 love them.

When are you going to make a .25 match?

The Baracuda Match is actually the same pellet as the Baracuda. We select particularly good-shooting production lots for the "Match" and offer them in different head sizes.
The additional effort isn't worth it (yet) for the .25 caliber, as globally there's far greater demand for .177 and .22.

I think you know this now but 177 Baracuda Match are sold as 10.65 grain. I've measured some and found them pretty close to this. I've tried Baracudas and Baracuda Power (copper plated) in my one 177 and the Match shoot a little higher scores on the 30 yard challenge (I shot a 193 this evening). The head sizes on the tin do not match my head size gauge but the ones sold as having a larger head size are larger. They are nice consistent pellets. Weights are more consistent than JSBs, for instance.

I ordered some 22 Baracudas by mistake recently and was surprised at the tight weight distribution and consistent head size in them. Must be a really good batch. My first target with them was a 193 8X. Not as good as I've shot with the Match but it was just one target too.

I think far too many people think JSBs are always the best pellet for their gun. I always try both H&N and JSB and 5 of my 6 guns shoot better with H&Ns.

And the huge cost difference.
I wait for Hatsan to have their 15% or 20% off sales and buy a lot of .22 Match and .25 Barracuda.

My .22 & .25 AirForce, Niksan and Hatsans like the H&N best. My Reximex Throne likes JSB and JTS.
My brits like Barracuda 18.
