Lewdan 17 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Looking through U tube yesterday , found a guy who had clips of reloading and testing the 50Gn SPSX bullet developed for the hornet, only using 12.2Grn of lil-gun powder and is getting 2700ft/sec & and very good accuracy down range. Any of you hornet cal reloaders heard of these heads, used them or know where to get some to try Cheers LD PS the guy on the tube was Weazel66 ( i think ) Quote Link to post

jamie g 17 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 i didnt think a hornet could shoot 50 grain ammo because of the twist rate ? if it can shoot 50 grain ammo then i bet that will take off over here. Quote Link to post

Yes Jamie, My ruger has a 1:14 twist , shoots 50gn V max ok, not rure what speed they are doing The clips shown on u tube show this spsx bullet is designed for use in the hornet and doing 2700 ft/sec with only 12.2gn of powder, as you say , would be good to try..
