Can I use HN FTT green pellets?

I just got a tin of field target trophy greens in the mail. They say for pcp rifles only on them. Are they ok to shoot out of my HW95?

Yes you can. IMO they are light and made for lower powered guns. Most springer can't overshoot them anyway. My HW85 clocked them at 942fps. They weren't as accurate as the Baracuda version or the Predator GTO version. I believe that Steve used them in his review of the HW95 as well and may want to watch the video as it has been a while since I've seen it. 
 
So... I got curious because the pellet is so light for a .22... Wondering if it's made of antimony, bismuth or an alloy. Haven't found out... 

But I did find that they recommend it be used in rifles of 12-ft/lbs or greater potential. (Link below.) Perhaps because of ricochet danger? Perhaps because of the pressure necessary to expand the skirt into the grooves? If it's harder than lead, that could be an issue. Anyway, looking up the numbers for the HW95 in .22, it should be fine.

Do please keep us posted on how they perform.

They are the equivalent of a heavier.177 and that 95 is made in that caliber. What’s the dif?


A lot of springers do indeed use the same transfer port size in .177 and .22 but in a circumstance where we have similar weight pellets in both calibers, the larger pellet breaks away earlier and accelerates more quickly because the developed pressure is operating against a larger area. That is, the force accelerating the pellet (force = pressure * area) is higher for the larger pellet. And if the pellet has moved too far too soon, there may be an insufficient air cushion forward of the piston to prevent piston slam.

Disclaimer: it has been awhile since I devoted any gray matter to springer dynamics so if I munged any of this up, hopefully the experts will correct me.
 
The smaller barrel diameter of the .177cal means more cushioning of the piston when fired. The .22cal with light pellets gives you a harsh firing behavior. Especially in "magnum" springers". The lightest alloy I shoot in my Magnum .22cal springers is the Predator GTO @ 11.75 gr. and HN Barracuda Greens. They were are listed at 12.96 gr but most weighed 13.3 gr. The GTO's shoot fairly accurate in many springers but 9.5 gr is to light to shoot tin after tin. They're great to see just how fast your gun will spit them out but most of the light alloys aren't very accurate. I have some Sig Sauer .22cal Crux alloys that weight 9.6 gr. My RWS 34 hits a little over 900 fps with harsh shot cycle and terrible accuracy. In the ASP20 I use to own same pellet @ 1035 fps. Terrible accuracy!
