    went down that route a few years ago used 55 g full lead heads with bullseye both gas checked and not ,key holed at 30 yards so gave up as a bad idea but mine was a 1 in 12 twist ,some ranges have different rules ,indoor the one i went to was passed up to 45 ,pistol cal carbines but there are some restrictions on the type of heads you use cant remember but i seem to think jacketed/ball or hollow point whernt accepted as target loads from a cntr fire rifle on indoor range

    Solution found in the name of the .22 Hornet!

    8 grains of H110 and a 53g bullet give me a velocity of near enough 2000 ft/s

    Might be worth checking whether your club has a muzzle energy limit in addition to the muzzle velocity limit. Some do.

    Correct, and our one has the same fps limit, and if memory serves its around 650FPE at the muzzle, so I guess yours is similar.
