I just got finished searching the internet for my .177 Red Wolf's favorite ammo -- Beeman Kodiak Match 10.65 grain and came up empty. Is this ammo no longer available? I sure can't find it anywhere and wondered if anyone knew anything about this.
Beeman Kodiak Match .177 10.65 grain - are these no longer in production?
- Thread starter ronmcc4
- Start date
They must be older stock. I looked on their website and they switch to a 11.something grain now.

That's H&N Baracuda Match -- close but not the same as the Beeman's. the H&N Baracuda Match is my #2 pellet though - looks like its becoming number 1.

You realize Beeman doesn't make pellets, right? They don't make Airguns either. They are an importer. geaux_tigers is correct H&N makes their pellets

Yes. I’m aware that Beeman doesn’t make pellets or airguns. I knew the Beeman Kodiak Match pellet was made by H&N but, until tonight, I didn’t realize that the Beeman Kodiak Match and H&N Baracuda Match were identical. For some reason, maybe it just happened to be a really good tin of pellets, my rifle groups the pellets in the Beeman tin slightly better than the H&N tin. I thought maybe H&N made them for Beeman using different dies kinda like JSB does for Air Arms. Now I understand that isn’t the case. So: Thanks, geaux_tigers for the info and BigTinBoat for the Straight Shooters link too. I appreciate the help.

That's right, the Beeman Kodiaks are, or rather were, Baracuda Match. And as far as I can remember, both always weighed 10.65 grains. The Baracuda Match has the advantage that the pellet is available in different head sizes (4.50 to 4.52 mm).

Thanks for the info HN Sport. I verified my zero and scope offsets for the Baracuda Match pellets yesterday afternoon in preparation for our upcoming silhouette matches. Glad to see a vendor checking in!
