It's only just now that I've realised that's not Andy's house lol! You can see the creases in the sheet that's behind him! Oh man... had me fooled for so long :P Your videos are absolutely incredible Andy, I've used them to buy my FX Dreamline .177 and my Oh so beloved Glock 17 Gen 4 (Umarex). Thanks for all you've done for the sport and industry!
I worked for a company many moons ago,they had a pidgeon problem,just a few that flew in,they knew i could shoot and i agreed to help,they said they would pay me extra for the help,after just 2 i couldn't do it anymore after the guilt set in ! i'm just happy shooting inanimate things ! the rifle i had at the time was a BSA super meteor (with a scope)
Good on you for following your conscience!
All rebranded H&N! Field Target Trophy, Baracuda Hunter, Terminator, and the Baracuda Green
Yes and i own them all from H&N
@@MrXFIELD As do I in .177-.25 with the exception of the Terminators, they haven't made them in .25 yet
Beat me to it!! ☺️👍👍👍
Was wondering if H&N were the manufacturer
I was thinking the exact same thing hahah.....
The obsession with "Star" in the naming is a nod to the old BSA motorcycles which often had star in their name, such as Goldstar, and Empire Star, and even Star fire.
Just hope I don't wake up to find a puddle of oil in my pellet store every morning like the one under my old C25.
@@docthebiker 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Yes more and more air gun manufacturer are selling pellets with their name on the tin, but they don't have the factory to make them. Obviously these are re-branded H&N pellets: weights / packages are the same but for the stickers. That's quite fun to see a Gamo owned company, BSA, reselling pellets from H&N. This says a lot about what Gamo thinks of its own pellets.
That actually do sound funny..
I did not know these pellets by H&N - but I surely have liked Gamo pellets myself - even though most serious shooters probably prefer H&N pellets.
bought few diffrent tins of gamo, they were all horrible from both of my air rifles...
@@brorjordas1979 i thought most serious shooter prefer JSB
@@dimasakbar7668 😁 Yea. Kinda gotten that impression myself also over the years - when watching videos of more expensive PCP rifles at least..
I am though mostly a replica co2 pistol shooter myself. No exact top accuracy needed - nor more expensive pellets.
Allways been the same. Nothing new here.
Somewhat of a 'star studded' presentation here today! ( You know I couldn't resist saying that )
Jokes aside, it is good and informative too, to be able to see the performance of different pellets in a given brand name and model, Thanks for this!
I can only imagine how much time it took in video production to give this to us, I for one, do appreciate this.
I enjoy every chapter I´ve seen about the world of PCP. I´been learning a lot, and I use tips you teach to improve either my knowledge and my ability with PCP guns. Congratulationes and my best regards from Chile, South America
I really enjoy your videos & appreciate the time & effort you put into your reviews. I am very keen to get back into airgun target shooting after many years away & your knowledge, passion & honest reviews are greatly appreciated...
...I really regret selling my Crosman Air-17 177 rifle I got new as a 12 or 13 year old lad back in the mid 80's. It was pretty accurate for a low powered beginner gun & great fun with it's 4x mag pellet clip. Helped me to learn how to shoot better & really helped me breeze through my Air Cadet .22 marksman grouping badge at the local range.
Great you did this as i was looking at using the BSA pellets in my R10.
Thanks Andy, BSA sent me some sample packs which I had mixed results with the exception on the gold star and green star which were fairly consistent. I will give when another go in a different gun, as you say the barrel chooses it pellets.
Just going to throw it out there. Yes they are clearly H&N in the same way FX and Daystate are the same as JSB and Air Arms. However, my R10th in a 177 hated all the pellets, spat them all over the card. With the exception of the Silverstar, they were 5p 10 shot groupings at 30 yards all day long. Andy is absolutely right the wand chooses the wizard. Buy a sample pack and see what happens.
Yea mate I was about to say he same they are all h&n pellets even the tin sizes are the same lol if the price is right then no complaint really.. my cp2 loves the h&n field target and barracuda range .. once again Andy base done some great work and that r10 of his is like a laser lol might have to get a gas to 18ftlb lol
I also am aware and was as soon as I saw this video , that these are all H&N reebranded pellets, but they are cheaper, I've only tried the Green stars, and my .22 R10 SE was at first terrible with them, un till I realized it wasn't the gun or the pellets ! it was me at 25 meters I was easily able to get 5 pence groups of ten shots. I didn't find they were any faster than a 14 grain lead pellet and they only achieved around 10.3 ft/lb , I already know that the H&N Terminators are extremely accurate in my R10 , so therefore the Silverstars will also be. I haven't been overly impressed by other H&N pellets and therefore will not try the Goldstar as I already know that JSB Exact Jumbos will work better. All barrels are different and some will like them and some won't but at the end of the day, if your gun likes H&N buy BSA as they are cheaper but exactly the same :).
Tried BSA pellets twice, last lot about 10 years ago ''Storm'' i think they were called. Total rubbish!! my 2 super 10s hated them, only use AA field, all my BSAs love them & even my Steyr Hunter 5 is laser accurate using them. Now pellets are not 50p for 500 like they were when i was a kid, i'm not wasting £12 a tin!
@@kevinparker461 then get the sample pack keV, it will be cheaper again
Good hunting buddy
@@kevinparker461 my r10 se loves air arms as well.
❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸 … BSA CLX is the best looking rifle ever ! …. Hello from Idaho ! ….. 🤠 …… 💪🏻💪🏻
Glad you like the BSA. Greetings from England 👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😊
Sorry pal BSA R10 much better looking.. that walnut stock is so sweeeeeeeeeeet.. Best regards from England
+10 points for the Black Star Riders reference 😁
Andy, As usual very good review with the close of shoot & see targets. Most all the BSA new pellets grouped very well !
Excellent video. Unless I am looking at the wrong BSA UK website. They are not yet showing these pellets. 😮
Great video Andy, I would love to see how they perform in old bsa springers such as meteors or my old airsporter mk 6.
Again, another very informative (and non-biased) video. However, I would have liked to see how they react in a sub 12 (non FAC) BSA R10 at 40 yards to see which ones please the .177 barrel of my BSA R10 se. I can't seem to get hold of the sample pack to try them out against my R10's favoured pellet, the QYS Domed or the QYS Streamlined.
I been using the Redstar and elite in my .22 Ultra SE with Very good results!! U only do out as far as 50 meters and they are both really good! And cheap..
Would have been nice to see how they perform out of a springer but good review
Good review! My sub-12 .22 R10 likes heavy pellets and at 32m (the length of my garden) is laser like with Bisley Magnums.
Andy, thanks for the review.. again! I appreciate it like so many more of us air gunners do… but if you take requests 😬
Please can you review the Benjamin Akela … I appreciate the other reviews on TH-cam but I’d like your opinion 👍🏾
You did a great job thank you for your time brilliant 👍😃
Very interesting results. I am newly back to air rifle shooting and amazed how fussy my .177 Kral Puncher Pro is with pellets.
BSA Goldstar - One of the most iconic motorcycles ever bit might be clue to name ????????????????????
I'd be interested to know how closely these and other pellets match (or fail to match) the weight claimed on the tin, and how consistent is the weight of pellets within a tin and between batches. I used to always weigh a number from any tin I bought so I had an idea of what I was shooting simply because I often found there could be a noticeable difference between one purchase and the next.
Sure, these are clearly H&N pellets and can probably be relied upon to have good quality control, but I've sometimes seen a considerable difference even in "name" brands.
Be interesting to try in an FX barrel ! They typically only like JSB.
Great video and proof of the wand! Ex, my 1377 crosman not great with crosman pointed, but likes jsb diabolo exact express 7.87 gr, and even daisy wad cutters. Go figure. But cheap crosmans work at 10 meters fine.
(So jsb for my pest control)
Might have to give some alloy pellets ago in my HW110 at my local (H)FT club. One or two of the targets need a bit of a push.
Hi Andy, another brilliant review, thank you.
Just before Christmas I had a few tins of pellets in the garage that had been opened a few months, thus they looked a little dusty. I had a look round and found some FX365 rust inhibitor. I sprayed a very light coating on the top layer of pellets.
Well I was out shooting some paper yesterday to keep my eye in and my regular pellets that I know shoot pellet on pellet are all over the place. Have I made a big mistake, could you do a video on pellet lub, pros, cons and how it affect performance please?
Nice video! It would be great to make a video with testing the plastic pellets (Gamo Leathal, Walther High Power etc). They seem to be quite fast and have maximum penetration. But I am not sure about their accuracy.
H&N pellets branded as BSA and promoted by a vector air salesman
Great video Andy, as usual! Thanks
Not unusual as firearms manufacturers make ammunition.... Remington and Winchester spring to mind but I can't remember if Smith and Wesson do too?
No need to watch the review. It’s BSA so Andy is going to say they are brilliant.
Great video as usual, you are always the highlight of my Fridays. Think I will order a sample pack for my .22 Airtech R10se
Just rebranded H&N pellets. Tried and tested.
Great review Andy.
Cheers Andy great information as I have a r10 sub 12 great gun also 👍
Hi Andy thanks for a excellent review as always, think I’ll give the gold stars a try in my HFT 500 😊😊
Hi Andy, I have been watching your very informative videos for a long time now.
Are you able to find out any information regarding the proposed lead ban for ammunition and what this means for the average airgunner ?
H&N with BSA logo
if you have a good product, how do you make it seem better, slap a quality name on it.
Nice job Andy, I wait for friday mornings to see what youre up to then i check my ever dwindling bank balance.
Why is this sport so damnned addictive lol.
Brilliant as usual. Very informative.
once again. all tickety boo .. thanks to you.. great info across the board .. giving us a chance to try things for our selves. and make our own minds up. I'm looking forward to trying them out for me self...lololol atb stay safe an well. tone uk..
Terrific as always Andy. Thanks.
Others may find BSA pellets viable, but my personal experience agrees with Andy's statement regarding pellet choice and how they may or may not suit your gun...
... To be honest, my personal experience with BSA brand pellets isn't that good; The BSA storm pellets I bought for my .177 seem fairly accurate, but not what I would deem pest control quality, whereas the BSA elite's I bought for my .22 were... odd.
I've got my .22 pcp hybrid zeroed well enough at 25 yards to get a very nice grouping with every other pellet brand I have used, yet the "elites" shot a minimum of a foot to the left and the grouping was... inconsistent. They were barely good enough for shooting random junk in the garden, (tin cans and whatever else I can find) but I would NEVER consider using them for pest control!
Previous BSA pellets have been re-branded Gamo.
These appear to be re-branded H&N so should be much better.
@@GsyMoo ok, will look into a test pack
Not bad pellets at all but once again the old 5.6 is totally forgotten. Thousands of old air rifles out there crying out for this calibre and may I add a large percentage are BSA time to wake up and sort it .
Very true, the original Eley Wasps were great in old Airsporters etc, but when I stuck them in a Weihrauch they dug into my thumb and shot terribly. That was my introduction to choosing pellets by criteria other than price/quality!
Sounds like Andy talking
@@71simonforrester Europe rounded the .22 down to 5.5 mm hence the Weihrauch bore not being quite big enough and the old guns being slightly big on the bore
My HW90 loved the old 5.6 Wasps, literally “single hole” groups!
Nice review Andy 👍
Thanks Andy. I would rather see full mags or same number of shots, not the edited version. But thanks for all your efforts.
Great shooting in some great guns! Very enjoyable - Cheers!
Nice review .......always nice to have an extra choice in pellets if your 'wand' likes them :-) .......
On the whole vector air lending ect ...... push them as much as you like as they have a good name among the shooting fraternity and we all know you own/back them :-) 👍
Ps .........we're did you get the backdrop as it would look good in my summerhouse
Great , informative review Andy . Only one slight criticism tho . I own a .22 ‘ air-magnum ( CO2) others own ‘ break - barrels ‘ would it not be just , to review those pellets with the mentioned rifles . Just a thought buddy . Stay safe , love your channel 👍 ????
Great test. The old bsa pellets weren’t great. These look better
Great video as always. I was hoping to see the lead free in .22. Never mind. I'll test them myself, though my aiming leaves much to be desired.
How did you get on with them pal. They meant to be on off the better lead free once
Pretty much I find heavy dome or wad cutters are great on accuracy.
I'm an occasional air rifle shooter purely for vermin control. I have & still do use lead pellets, But I shouldn't & nor should anyone else. I'm in no way a scientific person but I have seen at first hand the effect of lead on a handful of people who unknowingly have been exposed to lead in their water & it's not good. The same applies to wildlife, especially in the water fowling world where lead is still the preferred choice. It's got to change, the lead needs to go. Give the birds a chance not to have their brains addled by lead poisoning then maybe you'll get a better days shooting, or is that murdering! I am and always will be against hunting for the sake of hunting. Live & let Live & we'll all be happy. 👍
everyone who shoots plinking or target should always shoot in een pellet trap or berm to recover the lead ,then it can be recycled .and no lead problem then. the fta targets should be in a wooden box or someting where no lead splash gets in the nature .
al you tubers who shoots in free nature ,are digging a lead ban themself. Be wise tho keep the sport
Great. One of those youtubers you just like listening to, dont stop :-)
These look oddly similar to H&N pellets. This is another "me too " product. Great
H&N my first thought too
Yes, the Terminator / Silverstar is a bit blatant 👍
Cools . more choices. Hey does anyone have thoughts on the refillable 12 gram co2s ? Im not sure it will work for umarex.
Why do all the reviews never let us hear how loud the rifles are? One guy did let you hear how loud a gamo swarm fusion gen2 10 x was. I purchased one and it is really louder than the video showed.
They look ok i may guve some of them a go. Thank you.
Some new BSA rifles I’d like to see in the shops
Great video
ar thay just H&N s
rebranded as most ar
my stx barrel loves QYS 9.57 & P35 loves hades 10 34 out to 50y
Well done Andy great review as usual.
You do excellent reviews, and educational videos, Thanks. I enjoy watching, and listening to them . May The Most High Creator bless You Andy with all that You need, and a lot of what You want. Respect
Someone tell H&N that they have to remake the "prometheus defiant ogive" pellets!!! I miss them a lot!
H&N bought the rights for it!
H&N please please!!!
as usual, informative. can we have one just on lead free.
.177 has so many special pellets I wish there were more of same types made for .25cal and .30 cal :(
Hi Andy, What is the size of the 10 ring on the targets you are shooting on at 40?. They all shot very well. Thanks
Fancy shooting two of my old vintage airguns for accuracy and a laugh?? I have a ASI sniper in 22 and a Diana G80 in 177. The Diana I'm Certain is unmolested, however the ASI had new seals and a Titan spring fitted.
It would make an interesting video and show the difference between expectations of old airguns vrs new airguns, also it could possibly show why tinkering is either right or wrong (the original ASI spring is available for refitting, if needed).
It would be nice to see these two used in the hands of someone like you. 👍🏻👍🏻
Should do well in Gamo barrels
I'd like to see a .22 pellet review in a gun that has 35 fpe, that would be helpful. 🙂
You seem same as me buying yourself a birthday present 😂
H&N with new stickers, another option if you shoot them and your supplier is short on stock.
BSA and the STAR moniker have been a pairing just like bread and butter o bacon and eggs ever since the BSA company started toying with entry into the Motorized bicycle arena. in fact the pairing had blistering success from 1920s until 1971 and their fatal new broom incident. I am glad to see the old company (name only) version of Fred astair re teaming with the STAR version of Ginger Rogers. WARNING ! Understanding comparisons may reflect a certain age or dietry position. other celebrity or food couplings are available.
I used to have a BSA m.20 but i dont think i woulda got it in the magazine of my rifle.
Anyone else notice they mostly appear to be H&N pellets?
As others have said, just rebranded H&N. I wonder how they would be in a target rifle. Over to Andy, the review on a dedicated target rifle, coming soon?
I suspect my new HW100 in 177 is not delivering the power I need from sub 12 ft , what s the best & easiest way to check if its a faulty model. Also, in the box came a small box containing two large brass threaded heads with various small o'rings attached ! What are the used for?
get a gunsmith to put it through a chronograph mate
👍 very helpful thank you 👍
I think it maybe to do with the gold star motorbikes they used to make it would be nice if it was
just ordered a samples pack as keen to see which my BSA CLX likes..
Hi Jason , which pellets would you recommend using with the CLX.
@@Bzz22 I had to take my clx back as it kept jamming or misfiring. I was very disappointed sadly
...
I remember the days when all you could get was Marksman pellets and if you had the money Eley Wasps.
Now there's loads of different pellets marketed by countless companies but only made in two main factories namely H@N and JSB. Why cant companies innovate and produce there own stuff. The only original stuff at the moment are the new slugs which development has bee driven by the US market and high power.
Is anyone else using QYS streamlined 9.56(I think).177,my hw100t really likes them? really well made,I've shot 4 tins of these and not had a single flier.
A good video but why use not use sub 12 foot pound Springers too for the tests?
Andy my artimis pr900w pcp shoots jsb hades 10.34 grans at 1050 FPS and they shoot acuratly but this .177 pcp of mine is 27 ft lbs
I would like to try the alloys in my pistol
Can't be worse than the previous load of scrap BSA sold as pellets.
How about trying these through springers mate??
AAR -- All of these are H&N pellets rebranded as BSA. They all use the same stock photo that H&N's have on their tins. C'mon Andy your really reviewing H&N's...🤦♂️
These pellets have definitely been produced in conjunction with H&N a quality pellet producer and are worth a try, but as always stated they may not suit all guns and barrels, much the same as daystate/JSB’s dont suit all guns, even some Daystate. Thanks for watching, stay safe. Andy.
You should review the Luger p08 from the umarex legends collection
Cheers , good 👍 test
Pellet smple packs are a good thing. I still have not found my preferred pellet of choice for my Sig Virtus .22 PCP.. Approx 3" groups at a distance of 30 meters. Tested RWS Hobbys, 3 different Gamos 2 different H&Ns....all about the same.
Surprisingly the H&Ns (Baracuda Green and Sniper Light) being the worst performing. RWS Hobby pellets been best (and cheapest) so far..
Try the fx pellets
@@simonnoble7589 Thanks for the tip!😊👍 I'll then try finding some.
@@brorjordas1979 have a good day
@@handlesarefeckinstupid I do have noticed way many experienced airgunners to prefer them JSBs. They just can't be bad pellets. Although, I think I've seen comments about poor batches also at some point..
@@brorjordas1979 id say that was on par with accupell ...5p size grouping in 14 shots at 30 yards with a wh100 sporter 177 on a bench rest , although as you say you've got to look out for the odd misshapen one
Black Star Riders. Rock Band.
How many of us out there have even one rifle that likes four different pellets ? hmmm
These are just the H&N's with a BSA label. They are simply the H&N FTT, the Barracuda Hunter, the Terminator and the Barracuda Green.
I like the Beretta CX4 Storm, any suggestions on which is the best pellet for the type of barrel/gun
Is this a BSA branding exercise for other manufacture's pellets?
Can seem to source them in the US to try out in my L2
Kral puncher breakers. 1,77. What are your vo
Are they made in the UK or Thailand like the Triumph faux motorbikes. LOl!
