Shooting some FTT's in my TX200SR </div> <div> All shots are from 25 yards, shooting from FT seated position. </div> <bR> <div> The H&N's were definetly tighter in the breech and my SR seems to like the large head Pellet. (When I tried JSB's they seemed small and loose. Some ( newer) Crosman CPL's seemed so small I was afraid they would dribble out of the barrel. </div> <div> I would say the 4.51 size had the best "feel" while loading, snug...but not too tight. </div> <div> All grouped pretty well. maybe the 4.51's were " best"? </div> <bR> <div> The pellet photos (below) shows the slight design difference between Beeman FTS and H&N FTT.  </div> <bR> <div> I didn't shoot any 50 yarders ( no space in my yard) to see how they fly long distances. </div> <div> I'll definetly consider the H&N FTT 4.51 if they can assure me the same quality as the sample lots provided. </div> <div> Anywho....That's my report for now. Make out of it what you can and wish to. </div> <div> I'll experiment w/ the Baracuda's in my Steyr next week. </div> <div> RON </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="39330a60.jpg" border=0 width="560" height="422" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Targets 1 , 5, and 9 are shot with my "control" pellets ( Beeman FTS ) head size 4.5? </div> <div> Targets 2, 6, 10, ( and 14 ) were shot with H&N FTT size 4.51 </div> <div> Target 10 had a shooter induced " flyer" so I shot again on Target 14 as a "do-over" </div> <div> Targets 3, 7, and 11 were shot with H&N FTT size 4.52 </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="39b32a50.jpg" border=0 width="562" height="421" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Beeman FTS ( Left)  have a more "pointed" dome .  H&N FTT ( Right)  feature a more</div> <div> truncated dome shape.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>                                                                                          </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
