Do you use the H&N FTTs? I been wanting to try some. I see that they are 14.66 gr. in 22 cal. but are offered in 3 different head sizes: 5.53, 5.54, snd 5.55. So how does a feller know which to try without buying all 3? I was wondering if you have any experience with this.

I think you just have to try them to see if they work in your rifle. If your bore diameter is on the high side, then these mav be just the ticket for you. I will send you a dozen of whatever size I have if you are interested.

Thats real nice of you to offer, but if I decide to get some I guess I'd get a tin of the medium ones. That way I would know if they fit or need to be either bigger or smaller. Nothing is ever as simple as others make it out to be. Seems that way for me anyhow.

I just bought some of the 5.54 and they work great in my crosman 2400 KT. I had the same thinking, buy middle of the road and see how it does. They do okay in the Titan but not as good as the superdomes. I don't know if larger or smaller would work better in the Titan, I don't know how to tell.

I was wondering the same thing on the Barracuda's. I was using the Beemans FTS when PA was out of FTT's. Once the FTT's were in stock I ordered the 5.53 size. They are the same size as the FTS but alittle in consistant. That got me thinking that maybe the beeman pellets are better quality.
