H&N Hornet – heavy pellets for accurate shooting at medium range
The H&N Hornet combines a lead projectile with a distinctive brass tip. These diabolo pellets of 16.2 grains in 5.5mm calibre offer excellent penetration thanks to their pointed pellet shape. Perfect for shooters using break barrel or pump-action air rifles with approximately 25-30 joules of power, seeking consistent performance up to around 50 metres.
Our experience from the Shogun team
What immediately stood out to us with the Hornet is how stable these pellets fly. The brass tip provides better aerodynamics than standard lead projectiles, while the 16.2 grain weight offers a nice balance between speed and penetration. At distances up to 50 metres, the groupings remain tight, especially when shot with an air rifle that delivers sufficient power. The pointed shape cuts efficiently through the air, resulting in a flat trajectory and predictable hits.
Technical features in practice
This air rifle ammunition has a calibre of 5.5mm / .22 and a weight of 16.2 grains. The lead projectile with pointed pellet shape and brass tip ensures superior penetration. You receive 200 pieces per pack, more than enough for multiple shooting sessions. The combination of materials makes these pellets particularly suitable for air rifles with a power output from 25 joules, where the aerodynamic properties come into their own. Testing different grains for your specific air rifle is always worthwhile – a chronograph helps you gain insight into the energy output and thus find the ideal match for consistent groupings.
Who are these pellets suitable for?
The H&N Hornet is designed for the experienced shooter who wants more than standard plinking. These precision pellets perform best in powerful break barrel and pump-action air rifles from 25-30 joules. Due to the higher weight and special design, they are ideal for accurate shooting at medium ranges. Shooters who value consistent performance and a flat trajectory will appreciate this ammunition, especially when used in rotary magazines where the shape feeds smoothly.
