Spitzkugel | 4.5mm | 8.64gr | 500pcs | H&N

H&N Spitzkugel – lightweight pellets for precision shooting at medium range

These H&N Spitzkugel pellets in 4.5mm caliber with a weight of 8.64 grain are designed for shooters who value consistent performance. The pointed pellet shape provides an aerodynamic profile that is ideally suited for target shooting at distances up to approximately 50 metres. These pellets perform best in break barrel and pump-action air rifles with a power output between 25 and 30 joules.

Our experience from the Shogun team

In practice, these Spitzkugel pellets stand out due to their stable flight characteristics. The relatively light weight of 8.64 grain combined with the pointed shape results in a flat pellet trajectory with minimal wind sensitivity at short to medium ranges. When shooting at 25 to 35 metres, these projectiles maintain their velocity well, which contributes to predictable groupings. At 50 metres, accuracy is maintained, provided your air rifle is properly tuned.

Technical properties in practice

With a caliber of 4.5mm and a weight of 8.64 grain, these pellets are in the lighter segment. The lead material ensures the correct mass distribution, while the pointed shape offers low air resistance. Each pack contains 500 pieces, which is more than sufficient for extensive shooting sessions. The pointed shape means that the energy is concentrated on a small surface area, but due to the design, the energy transfer on impact is limited – ideal for paper targets and precision competitions.

Who is this air rifle ammunition suitable for?

These pellets are particularly suitable for recreational shooters and competition shooters who focus on accuracy. The light weight makes them ideal for break barrel and pump-action air rifles where a flat pellet trajectory is desired. Target shooters shooting at distances up to 50 metres will appreciate the consistent performance. Testing different grains remains valuable for optimal accuracy – every air rifle reacts differently. A chronograph can help measure the energy output of your specific combination and thus achieve the best results.
