Crow Magnums?

Are they the same pellets, just different packaging?

If they are not the same pellet,  I would be surprised.   Just purchased some of the H&N myself.   They are well made and shoot well.  Got them from Pyramid last week.   Ordered on Monday and had them in my hot hands Wednesday.

Thanks!

Some say the .177 H&N Baracuda Diabolos and Beeman Kodiaks are the same.  They look very very similar....I measured them both...and I think one is a little longer (0.001") and the other`s dome is a little wider (0.001" also).  Could be just me squeezing the digital caliber a little too tight!!!!  I would suspect Beeman or H&N are making both brands.

The word I'm seeing is that H&N makes pellets for Beeman. Pyramyd is buying them from H&N because Beeman is having QC and delivery issues.

That is not confirmed, by the way.

Watch out for Chinese Beeman pellets. I was at K-Mart last week and to my surprise I saw Beeman pellets in the locked display behind the sporting goods counter. I don't think I have seen anything but Daisy , Gamo and Crosman pellets at the big box stores. So after I finally find someone with a key, they turn out to be Chinese. I could not bring myself to try even one tin. Thought I was going to save some shipping charges. snookman

"&?%?$/....so now when we order some we won`t be able to know if they`re good quality ones or Chinese made ones!!!!! I think that happened to the Gamo Match pellets also....read that the new batches were Chinese made. And the concensus are that they`re inferior to the "Older" batches.

I think H&N still makes Beeman's  big name pellets, but Pyramyd Air does sell the Chinese pellets I saw at K-mart. They are the first 6 types of Beeman's on their web site. snookman

yes H&N makes both the barracuda's and the crow mags.
AoA will be importing the H&N's straight from Germany because of the changes at Beeman.
