H&N .177 pellet head size labelling on the tin

[ronmcc4]

I'm a little confused - or lack this particular experience. My new Red Wolf really likes the H&N Barracuda Match pellets. But, I only had part of a tin so I need to order more very soon. The trouble is head size. They come in either. 4.50 or 4.52. The sticker on the back of my tin say "4.5/400S". There are 400 pellets in the tin so the "400" is obvious, What I don't know is the "4.5" on the sticker on the back of the tin referring to the head size or the caliber? Any idea.

One way to test would be if you have a tin of known 4.52 head size - what does the sticker on the back of the tin say.

I just want to be sure I order the same thing the rifle likes. And I only have about 30 of those particular pellets left.

I answered my own question. I found a tin of 4.52 pellets. It has 4.52 on the back sticker and the other tin has 4.50. Now I can compare head sizes.

They are labeled 4.5 OR 4.52 specifically.

Here's some help...

Take a picture of the whole label. It's probably 4.5 / 4.50mm.

Yes. The tin I was testing from was labeled 4.50 on the sticker on the back. I later (after my first post) found some Baracuda Match pellets I had bought for my TX200 - these were stamped 4.52 on the back. So now I know that the stamp indicates the head size. Tomorrow I’ll see what difference it makes to the rifle.

Let us know how they each perform in that Red Wolf. Would like to know for future reference.
