Plinking With The 22 Hornet


Recommended Posts

As you know, Ian, to get the best out of both calibres you really need to reload. Johnny uses the 25gr V-Max as they group much better on his CZ527 and they have a slightly better BC too. Think they're doing around 3,400fps with his homeloads

Just a little clip of some plinking at 180 yards with the 22 Hornet using 35gr V-Max, 12.5gr Lil Gun, CCI 400 primers and Winchester brass:     Think I'm settled on the 40gr V-Max moving forwar

The only problem with the 25gr bullets is that they have been hard work to get hold of. Just picked up 600 from a local RFD who ordered them from Edgar Brothers with his last shipment. Nobody else seems to have them.
