The roots of H&N Sport go back as far as 1825. In the beginning the business was industrial production of milled lead and lead foil: lead bars were cast in plates, partly by adding tin, and rolled into foil by hand. This was used for lining tobacco tins and tea caddies.
In 1847 Carl Georg August Natermann acquired a former Hann. Münden fortified tower and modified it to a shot tower. Until the 1980s lead shot was produced under the “Lätare” brand name. Apart from this bullets were manufactured since the 1890s.
Since the 1950s, H&N has been manufacturing a wide range of different calibre airgun pellets for the most diverse applications, in addition to round balls for muzzle-loaders and bullets for large-calibre firearms. Production is carried out exclusively on our own purpose-built machinery.
Each pellet undergoes rigorous quality control: H&N guarantees very consistent weight across batches, with every tin required to achieve a maximum 20 shot group of just 21mm center to center (C-T-C) at 50 meters under test conditions. This level of precision ensures tight groups and reliable performance shot after shot.
Renowned for exceptional consistency, each batch undergoes strict quality testing: pellets maintain very tight weight tolerances, and H&N guarantees that 20 shots from any tin achieve a maximum 21mm center to center (C-T-C) group at 50 meters under controlled conditions.
Renowned for exceptional consistency, each batch undergoes strict quality testing: pellets maintain very tight weight and dimensional tolerances. This precision translates to reliable feeding, superb in flight stability, and tight groups perfect for target shooting, plinking, field target competitions, and effective pest control on small quarry like rats, squirrels, and pigeons.

Renowned for its unmatched consistency, each production lot is subject to an incredibly stringent accuracy guarantee: a 5 shot group at 50 meters must measure a maximum of 12mm center to center (C-T-C), and a 20-shot group must not exceed 20mm C-T-C under controlled test conditions.
