22 Hornet | 235 Yard Nut Shot


Recommended Posts


Elliot, using 40grn ammo and zeroed to 100yds what is the drop at 150yds, 200yds and 250yds.?

Hi Ian, here you go. This is based on the chrono data telling me that the 40gr V-Max are running at 3,000fps.

 

I do need to play with the BC a bit though, because I've found that the V-Max drop slightly more than stated.

Thanks for that it's very interesting. Quite a pronounced curve and more than i thought it would be.

 

That's one of the advantages of the .17 hornet, increased velocity and the same ballistics as .223:

Be interesting to see Elliot's comparison. I personally expect both to be effective and for it to be largely personal choice over ballistics and maybe a bit more usable range on the .17.
