You did it again! Thank you so much for providing the airgun community with these professional in depth documentaries. It’s fascinating to get an inside look behind the products we use. Very informative and as always such a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much for the fantastic tour of the H&N Sport factory. Excellent questions asked in the interview as well. I found the tour most interesting. Thanks also to H&N's management for allowing us a peak inside of the pellet / slug manufacturing process. Learned a lot.
I love these "How They Do It" kind of videos in full detail, plus they bring consumers closer to the company in question and may even influence their purchasing decision... Great videos!
🙂👍
Also helps explain the prices , lots has to happen just to get a good consistant pellet ..
I have some childhood memories...My Grandfather used to buy H&N pellets i still remmeber how they used to look in .22 they had Green printing with big pellet emblum in middle and Red for
.177, on the top of lid i still have those tins badly rusted..my dad my uncle myself and my son will always go with H&N Pellets amazing quality at low price.
Thank You H&N.
i bought 22 cal baracuda tin for about 18 dollars here in iraq ,we have all types of HaN pellets here,but in limited quantities,thanks steve for the great video ,and thanks to the german for their greatest industry in the world,keep it up guys
Kinda expensive, but worth it!
I pay about that for HN alloys in the US.
Wonderful job H&N! I love H&N pellets. I have used H&N Baracuda Extreme Hunter, Hornet, Sniper Magnum and look forward to Baracuda Hunter, Terminator and Crow Magnum to give them a try. IMHO usually my rifles love H&N pellets. They are at higher'rank and field-proven, not just a promise.
True!
H&N Field target trophy pellets are my favourites. Sub 12flbs HW97 consistently hitting 30mm target at 75 yards/68.58 meters with them very happy😊👍
I found this to be super-informative from start to finish and now have a better understanding of how my favourite brand of pellet (RWS Hobby in .22) ends up in the nice little tin in my local firearms store in Perth, Western Australia.
Being an expat from the UK, we have known for decades how efficient and hard working our German neighbours are!
Best of all, you found a German with a sense of humour! That is a rare commodity indeed!! 😂
No, that's not true! We just go to the basement to laugh (alone).
See! Definitely a sense of humour! Thanks for the info about the slugs! Maybe I’ll just give them a miss and stick to my RWS Hobby pellets!
I appreciate the candidness and long form casual conversation. Great value! Keep it up!
Another amazing tour, thanks guys.😁👊🏻👍
Very awesome in-depth conversation through the process. Very interesting. I love this suff! Thanks Steve! I bet a lot of work went into this trip and video.
Awesome video as always. Thanks Steve!
Steve very awesome production. Very thorough and informative.
Looking forward to what the future holds for H&N offerings.
Awesome video & documentary. I will say that after watching this I'll be trying a lot more H&N pellets
Awesome video. Thank you for great content.
Perfect for watching on rainy sunday afternoon. Great stuff for us airgunners
Thank you to H & N and AEAC for bringing to us such a detailed, informative and fascinating insight to the techniques of projectile manufacture. This provides answers to many questions, and fills gaps in knowledge.
Very informative, impressed, Thank you both.
Thanks for the awesome video tour!
Such a difference between JSB and H&N manufacturing processes yet they both have such a good reputation.
My favorite pellets are H&N. I enjoyed the tour. I wish they would make the Piledriver in 25 cal and 357 cal. I have had better luck with them then slugs in my air rifles. Can't wait for the air rifle industry to make the move to designing barrels that will shoot slug accurately. I know there are some manufacturers that have already done this. Waiting for the rest to catch up.
Great informative video, thank you and h&n sport for your work.
Completely different to the JSB production facility in the Czech Republic. This one seems to have so much more sophistication & mechanisation. In saying that, I must admit I prefer overall the “feel” of the JSB facility. It seems more family oriented with a just as good or better result, and is after all my favourite pellet 👍
Its funny how Americans think they are the biggest consumer & “favourite “ with sales etc but in fact quite few countries in front... had to laugh 😆
Americans all seem to shoot Crosman pellets which are pretty low quality. Over here in NZ most stores only stock Gamo, but thankfully I can get H&N at larger gun stores and JSB from NZ based online retailers. Those are the only two brands I will use.
Steve Thank you Thank you well done very interesting and good information. I was looking forward to this video since IWA.
Wow! What a great video. I’ve always enjoyed the “ how it’s made” type of tour. Thanks for the tour. 👍🏻🇺🇸
You all probably dont care but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Armani Davis Instablaster =)
@Carl Oakley Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Carl Oakley It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Armani Davis glad I could help :D
Me&wifey loves this video too&we appreciate them letting us into there home&we think you for another great video.
thanks Steve! really informative and fun to watch :D
Thank you for the video, love it every minutes!
👍😊
Thanks for that great video. I really like H&N better than JSB... cleaner, not banged up skirts
awesome awesome video i was looking forward to watching this cant wait for more
Steve, amazing video !!! Informative and very useful for the shooter community
Another great informative video Steve! Nice to see the other side of the sport!
Absolutely fascinating factory tour!!
Pure gold ! Thanks for your most informative video.
👍😁
As airgun videos go this was epic! Thank you Steve.
The production of H&N pellets is like the F1 formule car racing 1/1000 mm - 1/ 1000 of seconds !
Thank you for the tour Steve. Very interesting
Man Steve this was great!
What a great company. H&N best pellets available in Australia. Full line up and choice. Great job as many companies don't bother which such a small market as ours.
Debatable, I think JSB myself 👍
@@jeffestrada6857 Range and availability in Australia H&N wins hands down
Impressive finished product stocks. Very interesting tour to the factory. Congrats for such an extensive report
Awesome video 👍👍
I saw the jsb video but I must say h&n still got them it's like comparing Nike with Converse lol
I've shot H N pellets all my life fantastic ammo always hunted with field target trophy barracudas lots of different models finale match are good aswell I met Jorge at British Shooting show last year on his stand really good bloke and very knowledgeable on his product thankyou very much for the video of the factory without you you tubers we wouldn't get to see half this stuff in manufacturing cheers
Excellent vid.
Great video
Wow...just Wow... thanks Steve!!
Awsome tour , H&N pellets and JSB pellets are the only ammo I use in my airguns .
Eye opener
Thank you
Thank you so much for your factory tour videos of H&N Sports and JSB. It was totally fascinating to me to see the differences in the manufacturing disciplines for similar products.
More vids like this, also gunfactories would be Nice.
Its awsome to watch all the skills going in manufacturing stuff👍👍
Really value this video, thank you and H&N Mr Siemens to take the time to do this. World changing information. H&N definitely German process and quality no doubt. But I still hold JSB and their going to lead ball 1st and then pellet as the better quality product just from an engineering process. H&N and Gamo's pellet making progress is the same from wire to pellet and you can see from Gamo's quality control that things don't always come out good. Most Gamo pellets have the ridge down the side from wire inconsistencies. But that said, great video and great company H&N. (Being automated their pellets should be cheaper than they are - less people employ more profit) If I can't get JSB I buy H&N and it will continue that way purely because I support people more than machines
Thanks Steve,your host was exemplary, I was surprised how open he was to your questions, but I suppose a lot of that is a reflection on your character, it is a video I will watch often as I do your gun tests, well done Steve and greetings from Northern Ireland, I hope you have a Blessed Christmas!
Joerg was excellent indeed. He made the video! Steve
Very informative video🤩👍
My pellet gun shoots H and N pellets accurately. It is good to test all the different kinds of pellets you can to find the best for your individual pellet gun. Great video . Thanks.
Great job here and very interesting. This convinced me to subscribe
Just imagining all that German lead in my US backyard...mainly in my wood fence...goodness
WOW what a great tour of H&N. I use these pellets in my air rifle but Now I think that is the only pellet I will use from now on.
Great video Steve,
Very informative, thanks to H+N sport.
Martin (UK)
I am looking forward to the 25 caliber slugs 😁
I enjoyed that guys I shoot barracuda FT for HFT so it was nice to see they are looked after in production
That’s awesome H&N nice facility.
Fascinating, interesting and informative, thanks, Steve. David UK.
very useful video thanks a lot
Really great and very interesting video, i for one had know idea there was so so much involved in producing a tin of pellets, very informative, Thanks for sharing with, Cheers
This explains the prices now doesnt it , i always thought its just lead why so much for so little count , now i see how much processing goes into making pellets and wont complain no more lol ..
h&n is the best pellets i have ever shot in my air guns
Excellent video on how they made,,, Very complicated with many checks and balances,,,, WOW,, Thanks,,
For .25 Cal the jsb khd 34g pellets get dented skirts. Out of the four different kinds of h&n I've gotten I haven't had a single dented skirt. And I go through and repackage all my tin's with cushioning.
Awesome video as always Steve, very interesting and much appreciated 👍🏻. Looking forward to JSB factory tour video for comparison 😀😀😀
Won't be long on that JSB vid. Steve
"LAZER" 😂 when he air quoted Lazer, I wonder if he is a fan of the Austin Power movie's? 😂 Good video, thanks 👍.
Thanks Steve.
Nice Video, verry informative👍
Sind ja auch gute Pellets 🤗
me: "haven't heard from AEAC in a while, i wonder what Steve's up to?"
AEAC: "here's a 75 minute tour of the H&N Factory!" :)
also me: WHOOP!
Haha ,lol.
Lol at 7:07 the guys look on his face when asked “what good are you?” Guys probably thinking 🤔 freaking Americans 😂
Really great Vid, plus the JSB one. Real Eye openers, many thanks.
My AA TX200HC prefers JSB manufactured pellets, such as JSB Exact and AA Field.
My HW100KT prefers H&N manufactured pellets such as Barracuda Match and Bisley Magnum.
Compare say Bisley Premier and H&N Silver Point, they're identical.
Once you find what has been developed specifically developed with your brand of gun, pellet selection becomes a lot easier.
Fantastic to watch this and very interesting. Thanks for a great informative video.Oh and yes I’m now a Baracuda 18 and Field Target Trophy pellet shooter! 👍👀🇬🇧
VERY interesting ..... the H&N AND the JSB Factory tours were both great ...... thank you for walking us through both world class manufacturers. Now i wont feel so bad when paying a lil more for a higher quality TIN :)
That was a great video, who knew how much effort goes into making ammo 😳.
Great video, quite the eye opener for the lay person.
Fascinating! I like the Old Navy sweater. Thanks Steve! ;-)
When I was young ,I worked for a daughter company from Shell. The alu " Breads" as we called them. (They are mixed with all sorts of metal) A aluminum alloy that is. The pure Alumunium blocks are 99,9%.(highest grade) and then mixed in a process. For airplane skins or doorknobs or pellets, Every thing has different other metals in it. People call it all "Aluminium". But all is aloy. As the bullet makers will have the percentages kept secret. Nice to see, as it was a shitty job , they also make pellets of it. And its the reasons why one pellet is softer then another brand.
H&N does one thing better than JSB..The tins that have lids that screw in.
All the new JSB tins also have it now
Not all of the H&N tins had screw on lids, I still have quite a few tins that are friction fit.
H&N pellets are harder, some prefer it this way. For example, during the cold weather, JSB is more prone to be damaged when taken by frozen hands from the tins. Also shooting against steel targets makes JSB vanish in the air while with H&N you can still find deformed pellet.
@@HanSolo__ I find H&N hit and miss with certain pellet types. Some fit loosely and don't shoot very well. Others won't even chamber. I have never had that problem with JSB. I like the softer lead of JSB, which makes for expansion a little easier. H&N makes fantastic pellets and I use both brands quite a bit. I love H&N's .177 Wadcutter
It's all gun-dependent. My Hatsan 155 shoots the H&N Hunter Extreme and Cro Magnum shoot great...the JSB Exact 34 grain doesn't shoot for shit. Total garbage *in that gun*. Just sprays them, even at 20 yards you're talking a 6" group. Looking at the pellets, the JSBs are smoother, closer in weight to one another, and more consistent in general; I expected the JSBs to be better but in this gun they just aren't.
well you just blew my mind , I thought pellets where moulded not swaged , lots of good info in your vid and now i'm gonna try some H&N pellets ( maybe they'll beat the Air arms and JSB'S who knows ) , thanks for the vid , twas realy interesting ;)
1:05:33 I see when they do the more strenuous tests as he mentions which includes 40 shot groups and not 5. They use a Weihrauch HW100.
My M3 is addicted to .217 30grn @ 1010fps,love the quality and consistency!
Boy you have been on some great tours. All very educational . I did not know that the air gun industry was so large. Makes me want to own one. I have a couple springers but nothing compared to these pcp's of today. I was especially impressed with the FX gun factory in Sweden ,all those robots, INCREDIBLE . It really looks like the air gun industry is taking off. I really like the impact and the maverick. MR. Dubber has the best of all worlds when it comes to hunting, lots of farms that need rat and pigeon control, and monkey's and Duckies. I would have a full time job if I lived over their. And working with FX to make slugs that work better for bigger game. He is doing well for himself. I like watching his videos ,those air guns are hitting with authority . Good work.
Great pellets and I also shoot some of their private labelled pellets here in the States.
H&N barracuda pellet is still the best pellet for my springers
Mine too!
I shoot all lead-free, and HN so far has the best .177 and .22 I have tried. They are so nice I'm not looking real hard for other makes.
.
For my Crosman 1377 though I use the alloy gold flights with a long plastic skirt that makes it easy to load with big fingers.
Hi Steve!
Awesome video 💪
Just to clarify for you:
We can use 0.22 caliber airguns and below without a license in South Africa.
The law states 0.22 caliber and above requires a license, however 0.22 in a firearm is defined as 5.56mm in metric measurements. As airguns use 0.217/0.218 or 5.52 or so, they don't qualify as true 0.22 in terms of the law and we can use them.
Just good luck really 😜
On the bad luck side through a bit of ignorance and incompetence on the part of the authorities, we basically can't license airguns at all. So someone like Matt Dubber getting a license and starting to use 0.25+ just isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future...
Thank you for the clarification!
I prefer JBS, but i always have a tin or two of H&N laying around.
After watching this and JSB tour i have fell in love with JSB. I dont see many people, so automated, so German.
Nice.
Perfect
Great in-depth video Steve, H&N are the second line of pellets I use after JSB. They can make good pellets if you get a good tin. Looking forward to a tour video of JSB now.
It's coming. Steve
I ordered some recently and the skirts were damaged, also they seem slightly softer than jsb, although I haven’t tested that yet.
Love the education aspect of tour videos. So thorough .Ive learned so much since rediscovering airguns 5 years ago.
A little disappointed they wouldnt let u see how the furnace works. I really was curious about hiw that lead goes from block form to lead wire... oh well. Thanks again
Above 7,5Joule/ 5.5foot pound you need a hunting licence in Germany, but on the Autobahn there is no speed limit!? Very informative video, thank you Steve.
I'm not sure if they're going to do it....or if they have already done it. Definitely need to have a sampler can of there slugs. Would make things a lot easier for test trial and error. Nothing more than I hate than spending a lot of money on many different types of ammo and none of them work. I am seriously looking forward to testing out there slugs though. I really hope they come up with a sampler pack. I am very grateful and proud to be an American. Not many rules. Like other countries. Great video Steve. Once again thanks for taking the time and effort to take care of us Air Gunners and put these videos out. From NM. Stay blessed Shoot Straight my friend.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸✌✌
There will be a sampler each in .217 and .218 with 5 weight options
@@HNSport have you a release date for the UK
Airgun hunting is prohibited in Germany, Italy, Spain,..... you Americans are so fortunate. Don't let them take your guns!.
@@nekeke1 You're absolutely right brother..... And believe me. We all stand up and fight for that right! Like the saying goes. I've never been an outlaw. But if they ever made it illegal for me to have my guns. Then I will be an outlaw. I don't think it would have ever happened to us. The majority of us fight for our Second Amendment right. Stay blessed my friend. 👍🇺🇸✌
@@HNSport Thank you for the reply. Once again I am looking forward to testing them all out. I really enjoyed the video tour of your factory... And just so you know I am a big fan of H&N pellets. Soon to be a fan of your slugs. Stay blessed keep the good work up.👍🇺🇸✌
I use h n terminators in my gamo igt mack 1 .22 . The gun loves them . Fantastic pellets 👍
Good video but although i m now listening to some late night backround music i would swear i was still in that factory,that tinkling rattling sound!
H&N Always quality.
JSB's are very popular but I've always preferred H&N because of the quality of the product.
I always get happier from opening a tin of RWS, the rest is HN, and JSB as third.
Hand N all the way my 22 loves them shoots so much better not tried RWS
My .22 cal FX Streamline prefers JSB Exacts over all H&N pellets I have tested for some strange reason.
@@JudahMaccabee_ Well Fx is built to shoot jsb
James LeMacks.... There sure as heck isn't Anything wrong with JSB's pellets!!..... There have been more 1st place winners in the world Olympics 10M shooting, using JSB's than all their competitors... Combined, over the decades.. including H&N. But, Every barrel has it's favorites... so we all (well.. those who take airguns seriously, anyway) use what groups best at different ranges in each of our airguns, regardless of the brand name. : )
