Do You Think These Are Any Good And Question About Air Rifle Reg!

[mr practice 27]

hi there

 

guys i was looking at these 2 pellets was wondering if they would be good for hunting. 1 is the h & n barracuda extreme 2 gamo i THINK not sure they have a steel ball in the top of the pellet, with that one not sure if its a gimmick or if they work. but the barracuda extreme is supposed to be a good vermin killer hits hard and squashes well on impact. you guys will tell me if they are worth it or not,as h&n and rws arnt cheap

 

i wanted to know if they are gonna do this registration thing like in scotland, cos i dunno airgunning is attracting more people old young. and it seems if they do a waste of police time and a waste of recources. it is as if you get something good and it gets really popular then they want to bollocks things up with red tape, we have never had any messing about with airguns really in britain i DONT THINK anyway, except the 18 rule to own or buy keep it in a bag to and fro until you get to your permission. or club but it would be a real real shame if they do it complete crap,

 

i have not read a new airgun mag yet but WHAT IS the best one to get b.t.w. i know there is quite a few of them now, i think years ago there was AIRGUN WORLD i think and that was it well cheers guys stay safe and happy hunting.

If it's these that you're looking at Dave, they are a good pellet but, they'd still need testing for accuracy in your rifle.

..... At sub 12ftlb velocities they'll never expand how the manufacturer intended but, the cross cut into the nose gives them a greater frontal area - this in turn helps to impact quite a punch

 

The Gamo one with the ball in the tip is likely to be a gimmick. I've tested a fair few of these and, I've yet to find an accurate one. I'd give it a miss mate.

 

For accuracy and hunting, you really can't beat a good quality lead, round head, Diablo - JSB Exacts, Air Arms field, H&N FTT, Falcon Accuracy Plus, Daytate Sovereign

..... Any of these, placed properly, will do the job.

 

 

 

As for Air rifle licensing in England - I really can't see it happening to be honest. The doom sayers keep mentioning it but, it'd be such a big, expensive undertaking, I don't think the government or police force would be capable of dealing with it.

...... I sincerely hope I'm not wrong.

Use Hunters in me 98 Mr Practise. Bang on so far, get some. Rapid hates um, 98 love them. Shame they only come in tins of 200. Damn it.

There's a bit of Scottish on mums side - I'd never risk damaging a 5p

Might try um in me 97... I can imagine them being of favor. Do they still come in 200 tins in twenty two? I know your 97 is or was 177 going by the group size.

Yes mate, mine's a .177 - I've just checked the Baracudas on a couple of sites - the .22s are in tins of 200.

ive got a few tins of pellets for a mixture of guns my air arms i use most i only use air arms field diablos threw it they suit her and i get good results the rest prefer other pellets but i hardly use them i did use flat heads in the tracker for shooting pigeons in barns but they didnt impress me other than that but as said try them in your gun see what range your happy with and what the groupings like
