Ok, here is my thoughts and experience with H&N 18 and 21g - and I’ll even bring include 15g .22 and 30g .25 caliber…
The 15 and 18s shoot fantastic. I’ve found them to be just as good as JSB 15 and 18s in most rifles (I’ve got 14 PCPs) from most all major manufacturers.
The 15 & 18 H&N Baracuda pellets have the same shape - a blunt, rounded head - very similar to the corresponding JSB pellets.
The 21 and 30g have a more pointed head shape. I would have a great outing with them one day, the next outing with the exact same rifle they would not shoot as well…
Then I noticed (it could be all in my head) that these more pointed H&N were great on calm days, but if any breeze, they wouldn’t do as well. I attribute this to the more pointed shape not being as stable in the wind.
Here is a photo I just took showing the two shapes: 15 & 18 blunt round vs 21 & 30 pointed.
I wish H&N would make the 21 and 30 the same shape as the 15 and 18.
