"20" fpe HN BM 5.53 - 21.14 gr ......"22" fpe HN BP 5.53 - 21.14 gr ..... "17" fpe !?!? Any thoughts about this fpe behavior? What does H&N BM and H&N BP mean ?Manny - Barracuda Match and Barracuda Power. Trigger, I think the difference might be that the BPs are copper coated and might not seal as well causing a loss of speed.

Not sure what your asking here!Will this be enough for penetrating a hogs skull like Manny did on this one!!!! Or if you asking why is there a difference in FPE compared to weight and pellet!!!All pellets are different, shape, weight style and balance and dont forget what seals in the barrel better. What you get out the end of the barrel is what you get! Just because they weight the same or lighter means nothing!William
Excellent shooting. Great video
Well, in this case I think I will take credit for making a good shot
How can the weather not cooperate it is always sunny and 85 degrees with a light breeze off the ocean . So when is the hunt with the wrist rocket sling shot planned if David could take down a 9ft giant a mere 400 hog should be no problem
