H&N .22 18gr

Just got the email from Pyramyd that they are available and ordered a few tins to try out. 

Not much else to say until they get here, but I've been looking forward to this new offering.

Very very good pellet! equals the JSB 18 HEAVY at short and long ranges.

They work well in my Kalibrgun Argus

They just arrived today. Hoping to get a chance to shoot a few before the evening is up.

@Deallad - Michael - what speed were you shooting them? I'm going to try the in my Cricket II so hopefully performance is equal.

Well a few quick mags with my Leshiy 2 and I'm impressed. Right from the tin it's a tight fps and seem to be very accurate. Will push them out to 50 yards to test tomorrow.

The review by Alex of @aractivities is very good. I totally trust Alex and him being impartical, if he says they are good, then they are. IMHO. When i get my 22 cal I will give them a try.

@ctshooter, price wise how are the H&Ns compared to the JSB 18s? Also, its taken H&N so long to make an 18 grainer.

$6.99 for a tin of 200. 4 for 3 at PA. Seems pretty comparable to JSB 18.

I bet they're getting a lot of people trying them these days since JSB's are so hard to come by.

Got 4 tins coming that are suppose to be here on the 3rd.

I was able to shoot some groups out of the Cricket Carbine Mini @ 800fps that were around 1/2" (didn't measure yet or take photos) at 46 yards. So far very consistent. I'm reading BC is a bit lower than the JSB 18gr - I'll have to test that out as well.

Here's some 5 shot groups of the H&N 18 @ 46 yards from the Cricket Carbine. Pretty calm day, some side breezes. Black concentric rings are 1/2" - I'm pretty pleased.

I got one tin from Pyramid, ordered four more the next day. This is what I get with them with my Armada

Shot them from 450 to 950. They work well every at every speed i tested.

Sean...i dig the multi colered targets.☺
