H&N Field Target Trophy pellets .

[BABz58]

Just got 4 tins of them from PA today.
H&N FTT Pellets seem to be highly rated. Yes??
They shoot well in most of my rifles. But with a few flyers sprinkled in sometimes.

I got 4 tins of them in 5.5 cal.
2 tins are the 5.53mm and 2 tins of the 5.55mm. All of the tins say right on them. That they are 14.66 grain.
I always weigh 20 or so pellets from each tin to get the actual weights and check for consistency.
None of these weigh the stated 14.66 grains.
3 of the tins were nice and consistent.

And 1 tin will need to be sorted. The weights were all over the place with that one. This here explains the flyers that I don’t feel were because of me.

I use 8.64gr (.177) 4.52mm H&N FTT exclusively in all of my .177 rifles, except the FWB603.
However, after seeing the results of the World Field Target Championship in Phoenix, recently, I will switch to 8.44.
I have enjoyed the quality of the H&N pellets.
I have shot in excess of 75,000 of them.

Good deal, they gave you extra lead in each pellet!

My experience as well. JSB are way worse tho.

Can you please send us the batch numbers to [email protected] (they are on the bottom label, a photo is OK too)? If these pellets really have such a large weight deviation, we need to have a serious talk with our colleagues in the pellet production.

I’m sure your dies wear. When they do slightly bigger pellets are made. I exclusively use FTT IN EVERY CALIBER.

For the target shooters who want every pellet within a grain
make a hand picked tin lot. Charge a buck more a tin ,you will outsell them as fast as you can make them.

EXCEPT ,.30. None yet made. ( hint, sub 40 grain). I know demand is not there for such as most .30 guys are PCP SHOOTERS. PROVIDE me a pellet I’ll build the springer that does 40 + ft lbs. …… I’m working on two now with re shaped current selections 38 grains.

Oh yeah. Don’t ever stop making .20. legends never die.

WHY? Why not.

I would buy 10+ tins of .30 in the barracuda match if they would make them. Pretty much all I use in .22 and .25.
