H&N Baracuda Match 21.14 BC test

[mcoulter]

My velocity on the near distance was 893fps (average of 5 shots) and measured velocity 49 yards down range was 746fps (average of 5 shots).

Chairgun pro gives me a BC of 0.0365 (GA). 

It was about 60f and I'm at 1300 feet elevation. These were shot from my Cricket II. These were the 5.52mm head size.

Oh yeah, don't be that guy who double-loads pellets when testing BC. 

The drop was *just right*...

And another one bites the dust!

Looks like you got him right in the control room. Outstanding shot placement. And an instant double tap! 

 

[mcoulter]

Thanks!

Thanks?

It died and honorable and quick death this time. (Notice the battle wound along the top?)

I have a similar hit along my top edge. Not sure who did that. Someone must have snuck up and shot while I wasn't there.

Time for an fx chrony, you can triple load if you want!

 

[TonyG]

Wow I’m gonna have to be more careful.

 

[ctshooter]

Sounds about right.

Any of you guys know if these pellets will "fit" in a steyr hunting 5 magazine?

Just grabbed a tin from the shelf and the longest ones measure 0.337in.

They absolutely fit into the Steyr Hunting 5 magazine.

Steyr Hunting 5 prefer H&N FTT 5.54 in both of the 22s I own then JSB 15.9s and discontinued Brown Box Crosman Premiers and current Crosman pointeds in the 175 count tins and one likes the cheap Wal-Mart CPHPs.

You likely not gonna get as good results with the Baracudas.

Trick is to seat all pellets into the magazines evenly use a home made seater like a modified golf tee or a pen to seat them all exactly the same.
