H&N Spitzkugel 5.50 mm Airgun Pellets (16.05 Grain / 200 Count)

The H&N Spitzkugel is a premium, medium-weight pointed diabolo pellet engineered specifically for maximum penetration and high shock effect at medium ranges. Designed for both high-velocity spring-piston and Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, this pellet stands out due to its sharp, conical pointed tip, which is purpose-built to easily pierce tough targets where standard domed or hollow point pellets might deflect or fail to break through.

The defining characteristic of the Spitzkugel is its optimized aerodynamic profile. By combining a sharp pointed nose with a smooth, lightweight body transition, it maintains a flat flight path and an incredibly clean velocity curve. Weighing in at 16.05 grains, it is slightly lighter than traditional heavy hunting pellets, allowing mid-tier and high-power airguns to drive it at faster, flatter trajectories. Upon target contact, the pointed tip concentrates all kinetic energy into a single, localized point, delivering exceptional penetration depth for clean, humane pest control and small game hunting. Sized precisely at 5.50 mm, it engages smoothly with standard .22 caliber rifling for consistent, reliable performance shot after shot.
