H&N Baracuda Power Copper Airgun Pellets What are they Really Made From?

The easiest way to determine what the shiny Copper colored pellets from H&N are made from is to simply ask them! And that's exactly what I did.

So now you know, these Baracuda Power Pellets are NOT solid copper and the lead is NOT 100% of course since this would be too soft but instead an alloy of less than 1% Antinomy, the remainder being Pb (lead). The purpose of the antinomy is to increase the overall hardness of the lead. The copper coating is applied via the electroplating process and the mean thickness is 10µm.


Many thanks to:

Peter Schmidt at H&N for supplying the relevant information.
