H&N Barracuda 10.65 Match Pellets…

After about 800-900 pellets, I FINALLY found the one that works in my TSS….and I need to mention the size is 4.50mm NOT the 4.52..which is TOO large and shoots very poorly…the JSB 10.2’s in 4.52mm are also too large and not accurate!! Crosman Premier Ultra-Mags are so big that they actually lead-foul the barrel after about 15 shots 😥 Gun needs the smaller diameter, which I think is a good indication that it is built close to tolerance 😀 😀 😀 ..Nice thought !!
I shot a total of 110 pellets through my Alpha Shooting Chrony …here are results…..PW@4, TH @ 0.074″, start at 3000 fill..stopped at 1850 psi.
I use 5% as my extreme spread…..most gun makers have guns tuned to shoot 10%, I chose the smaller number so that there is less than 1/2″ change in POI ( at 50 yards) with gun zeroed @ 25 yards. high shot was 827 fps….5% of that is 41fps subtracted from high of 827 gives me a cut-off of 781 fps minimum. From the chrony sheets you can see that gives me 51 shots inside my 5% range, starting at 2750 psi, stopping at 2000psi. FPE is low of 14.4 fpe to a high of 16.0 fpe. This suits me fine, as I have an AA S410 that shoots 29 fpe if I REALLY need to damage something 😆 😆 Chrony sheets are posted for reference…

There is no better feeling then finding the “right” pellet for your gun… so far my Talon SS likes the JSB Exacts the best.. but I am still on the search for something that works better 😀

I’ll get some with my nest pellet order from PA 🙂 🙂 I’m just happy as hell I figured out the thing with the gun needing the small skirt diameter, instead of larger…here’s some 5 shot groups from this afternoon…I am well satisfied with the 10.65’s, obviously !!!

I get about 860-890 fps with 10.6gn Kodiaks… for 17.5-18.7fpe. Start 2600-2700psi, not sure about end. TH in the 0.08x range with PW4.0.

Put a Big Boy Senior 15.8gn 177 (click here) pellet in your gun for some hard hitting 23fpe energy. You’ll be amazed at the hike in power; close to a stock .22 12″ TSS.
