Al, don't confuse the Baracuda FT with the "original", heavier Baracuda. The FT weighs in at 9.57 grains (the same as my favourite hunting .177 pellet in the 80s, the H&N Silhouette). They also do another one. Same pellet, same weight, but reduced levels of stringent QC. Called the Baracuda Light, or similar. But the last time I looked they didn't seem much cheaper.
