H&N Hornet .177 Pellets: High Impact and Precision for Hunting

The H&N Hornet .177 Pellets are designed for airgun enthusiasts seeking high impact, penetration, and precision. These medium-weight pellets, weighing 9.57 grains, are ideal for hunting at medium ranges, offering a blend of accuracy and stopping power.

Optimized for Hunting

High Impact and Penetration

The pointed metal tip enhances penetration and controlled expansion, delivering high impact on the target. This design ensures that the pellets hit hard, transferring maximum energy to the target for effective and humane hunting.

Caliber Guide

• .177 Caliber:
  • Usage: This caliber is popular among casual shooters (“plinkers”) and those who enjoy shooting for fun (“fun-gunners”).
  • Competitions: It is the preferred choice for outdoor Hunter Field Target (HFT) and Field Target (FT) competitions due to its flatter trajectory and higher accuracy at longer ranges.
  • 10m Indoor Shooting: For 10-meter indoor paper target shooting, the use of flat-headed .177 caliber pellets is mandatory. This is because these pellets create cleaner holes in paper targets, making scoring easier and more precise.
• .22 Caliber:
  • Hunters in Britain: Approximately 75% of hunters in Britain favor the .22 caliber for its balance of power and trajectory, which is effective for small game hunting.
  • FAC Shooters: Firearms Certificate (FAC) holders, who have permission to use more powerful airguns, often prefer the .22 caliber due to its increased impact and energy.
• .25 Caliber:
  • FAC Shooters: Along with .22, .25 caliber is popular among FAC shooters who require higher power for hunting larger pests or for long-distance shooting due to its greater kinetic energy.
• .20 Caliber:
  • Niche Preference: A small number of FAC shooters opt for the .20 caliber, which offers a middle ground between the flat trajectory of the .177 and the hitting power of the .22.

	Roundhead Roundhead pellets are the best all-round choice and the most popular among UK airgunners for versatility.
	Flathead Flathead pellets, mandated for .177 10m target shooting, are also favored in .22 for close-range vermint control.
	Pointed Pointed pellets are popular among hunters for perceived penetration, despite being less stable and efficient ballistically
	Hollow-Point Hollow-point pellets are favored by hunters for their ability to maximize damage upon impact, making them popular for field shooting.
	Round Ball 4.5mm round balls, available in steel, lead, and copper-coated variants, are popular among fun-gunners for low-powered smoothbore guns.
