H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm / .22 Cal

H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm / .22 Cal Pointed Pellets

The H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm / .22 Cal is a medium-weight pointed airgun pellet designed around penetration, aerodynamic performance and shooting at medium distances. H&N describes the Spitzkugel as a very precise pellet for hunting and precision shooting, with its aerodynamic pointed design intended to produce a relatively flat trajectory and high penetration.

Each H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm pellet weighs 1.04 g (16.05 gr) and the tin contains 200 pellets. H&N specifies a minimum muzzle energy of 16 J and a maximum distance of 30 m for this pellet.

Pointed Design for High Penetration

The defining characteristic of the H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm is its pointed head. H&N specifically describes the aerodynamic design as providing high penetration, making the pellet distinct from flat-head and hollow-point designs.

The pellet also features a smooth skirt, another characteristic specified by H&N for this model.

For customers looking for a .22 calibre pellet where penetration is an important consideration, the Spitzkugel provides a purpose-specific pointed configuration.

5.5mm / .22 Calibre

The H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm is manufactured in 5.5mm (.22 calibre). This product should only be used in an airgun designed to accept the appropriate 5.5mm / .22 calibre pellets.

1.04 g / 16.05 gr Weight

Each H&N Spitzkugel 5.5mm weighs 1.04 g (16.05 grains). H&N classifies it as a medium-weight pellet, making its weight an important specification when comparing different .22 calibre pellet designs.

When selecting pellets, customers should also take their particular airgun’s specifications and recommended pellet weights into account.

16 J Minimum Muzzle Energy

H&N specifies a minimum muzzle energy of 16 J for the Spitzkugel. The product tin also identifies the pellet with an E ≥ 16 J marking.

This specification should be checked against the capabilities and manufacturer’s recommendations for the airgun being used.

Hunting and Medium-Distance Shooting

H&N categorises the Spitzkugel in its hunting range and describes it as suitable for hunting and precision shooting at medium distances. The manufacturer lists a maximum distance of 30 m for the product.

The pointed profile and high-penetration design make this pellet notably different from recreational plinking pellets intended primarily for short-range target shooting.

200 Pellets per Tin

Each H&N Spitzkugel tin contains 200 pellets. The product is supplied in a resealable metal tin for storage.

Product Specifications

H&N lists a ballistic coefficient of 0.017 and identifies the pellet as a smooth-skirted design.

What Makes the Spitzkugel Different?

The H&N Spitzkugel is distinguished by its pointed head, 16.05 gr weight and penetration-focused design. H&N describes it as an aerodynamic pellet intended to provide flat trajectories and high penetration, while positioning the product for hunting and precision shooting at medium distances.

For customers comparing .22 calibre pellet types, the Spitzkugel is therefore a penetration-oriented pointed pellet rather than a flat-head plinking pellet.
