Alloy v Lead

I haven't tried any H&N Greens. Don't know if they're anywhere near the same composition as GTO's.

Don't know where any fit in against almost pure lead JSB's & harder Crosman's.

A JSB is extremely soft and will usually mushroom upon impact and dump all energy. A Crosman is harder & penetrates deeper.

Send a Alloy pellet, the hardest, like a steel BB that's drag stabilized & (even if they weighed the same & sent at the same speed) they're going to do a pass through.

Because alloys are lighter and harder than lead, They go faster and penetrate much deeper. 


Because they're lighter, they'll all shed their energy faster. 

Our H&N Field Target Trophy Green (and Baracuda Green and Match Green) are made of 100% tin. As JamesD wrote, the material is significantly harder and approx. 45% lighter than lead, even if the lead is alloyed with antimony.
BTW: The pellets are not harmful to the barrel, because steel is again much harder than tin.

BIG SHOUT OUT, AND THANKS TO H&N Sport for monitoring an airgun forum and answering a customers questions and offering information. Good work, and great pellets by the way!

I'm a big fan of the H&N Greens in both .22 and .25. I personally prefer them to the GTOs. They're especially good for backyard plinking and pesting, owing to their non-toxicity. And they're accurate to boot. Perfectly uniform skirts seem to help.
