H&N Baracuda Match 5.5mm 21.14gr – heavy pellet for long distances

The H&N Baracuda Match is a heavy diabolo pellet in caliber 5.5 mm / .22 with a weight of 21.14 grain. This projectile is designed for shooters who want to perform at greater distances with a powerful PCP air rifle. Due to the higher weight, the projectile retains its energy well in flight, resulting in a flat trajectory and predictable impact up to approximately 75 to 100 metres, provided the rifle delivers a minimum of 40 joules.

Our experience from the Shogun team

During our test sessions, we immediately noticed how stable this air rifle ammunition behaves in flight. The combination of the higher weight and the smooth finish produces tight, consistent groupings, particularly beyond 50 metres. On a well-tuned PCP, you will notice that the grouping remains consistent across multiple strings of shots. It is always worthwhile to test different grain weights in your specific barrel — every barrel has its preferences, and measuring the muzzle velocity with a chronograph provides direct insight into the actual energy output and optimal tuning.

Technical characteristics in practice

With a caliber of 5.5 mm / .22, a weight of 21.14 grain, and a domed pellet shape, this projectile is clearly optimised for distance shooting. The material is lead from a special alloy, treated with a fine lubricating layer that reduces barrel fouling and keeps dispersion consistent. The round, smooth head provides a high ballistic coefficient, which translates into stable flight behaviour and reliable energy transfer at the target. The packaging contains 200 pieces, more than sufficient for extended shooting sessions or zeroing your rifle at various distances.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suited for?

This Baracuda Match is particularly interesting for shooters with a powerful PCP air rifle who enjoy shooting at longer distances between 50 and 100 metres. Think of precision enthusiasts who want to fine-tune their setup in detail, or recreational shooters who find that lighter pellets do not remain sufficiently stable at distance. Thanks to the domed head and higher weight, this projectile performs best on systems delivering from 40 joules of energy.
