I’ve watched just about all of his reviews, and countless other main channels. 
One thing I have found common is JSB pellets are by far what air rifles prefer. I can’t even think of a rifle that preferred H&N. You might see a rare showing for Crosman Premier.

I’ve been out of the sport and in the world of powder burners the last 8 years. I remember 8-10 years ago Barracudas worked just at commonly as JSB offerings. 


Have you found the same thing?

What does H&N need to do to be competitive again?
 
@dizzums, I plink with the Premiers out to 102 yards and pest with them sub sixty yards. They do seem to throw more unexplainable flyers than the JSB Exact Jumbo 18s. That's been my experience with the Premiers, otherwise they're a good hunting (small game) plinking and pesting pellet.

I agree, I use cphp for pesting under 35yds out of my low power leshiy, and gamo urban. They do their job nicely.

The .22 market seems to be dominated by the the 30 ft/lb air rifles. 18 grain pellets in the 875 ft/sec range is the sweet spot for that power setting and H&N wasn't offering a dome in that class. As mentioned their 18 grain Hunter is a quality pellet, but it's not a 100 meter pellet. I find they destabilize past 50 meters.

It looks like they aren't ignoring consumer trends and new 18 grain pellets are hitting the market shortly.

JSB pellets always seem to shoot better in all my guns , Now I do shoot H&N pellets and I do have to tune my gun to the H&N pellet even if its the same weight or very close.. I do some things the JSB pellet people may not like...... When my H&N pellets are gone I tape over the screw on lid and load it up with JSB pellets, I then have my JSB pellets in a screw on lid...
