This is a quick video of me shooting my AT44 .22 cal using H&N Baracuda Hunter 18.21gr hollow point pellets. The gun is regulated to run them at 880 FPS for 30 full power shots. I hope you enjoy.

Good shooting, Baxter. Those hollowpoints do seem to be expanding dramatically. How would you compare them to Polymags?

Hello there sir. I am not Baxter, but I shoot with him. He's a walking database of airgun information. I am HunterOne. Thanks for the compliment.

. Sorry about the misidentification, HunterOne. I saw Baxter's post when I clicked on the link and then responded and unfortunately realized he hadn't started the post just after I hit the submit button. Still good shooting. Would still like to know how you would compare the hollowpoints to the Polymags in terms of accuracy and tissue destruction.Upvote 0
No worries Rocky. As far as the Polymags vs. Baracuda Hunters, here are my thoughts."rockymtbiker"
Polymags are excellently engineered pellets. From my experience, they are extremely lethal for anything out to 50 yards. After that, accuracy starts to drop off a bit for me. But when they do hit, they dump an amazing amount of energy onto the target. They do cause a lot of damage due to their tendency to mushroom violently. In my .25 cal, i push them at about 960 FPS and they literally destroy targets.
Baracuda Hunter Hollow Points are also excellent pellets. They are pinpoint accurate in my .22 and are almost as accurate in my .25. I noticed that they carry more energy farther downrange and also maintain their accuracy much better at greater distances. They are also devastating on their target. In my .22, I run them regulated at 880 FPS and in my .25 i run them at 960 FPS. When they hit their target, its total destruction. You will not have many walk, crawl, or fly aways with these.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info; yes, that helps. I've had quite a bit of experience with the Polymags and like them a great deal, but the impacts you were getting with the Hunter HP's was impressive. My Pneuma doesn't seem to like the Barracuda Match pellets as much as the Polymags but I thought the Hunter HP's might be worth a try.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I strongly suggest giving them a go. If your gun likes them, you will not be disappointed. Good luck and let me know how it works out.
