    Hornet V-max needed

    A bit cheeky, but do any of you gents know of an RFD with Hornet 35gn V-max bullets in stock ?

    otherwise I'll be forced to buy another box of factory ammo

    According to Hornady's latest production list, they're back making them so it should be pretty soon that we start seeing them... say 3 to 4 years time. I'm down to my last half box having cleaned out my local earlier this year.

    I've got a box of 35gn Hornet Vmax and a box of 45gn Hornet Vmax that are surplus to requirements if you know anyone passing J8 on the M5?

    They'll both be 2012 vintage, so you can have them for whatever price is on the boxes - I'll check in a few minutes.

    I've got a load of S&B new brass too, plus a couple of hundred Federal & Winchester once fired cases and a few hundred magnum pistol primers I've no use for now I'm finally selling my .22 Hornet.

    angrybear - they are in very short supply, I've been getting away with reloading using Hornady V-max 40gr. They are a little longer than the true Hornet 35gr. but they work fine in my CZ. I can give you the specs. if you want.

    aj leamon lists .224 35g Vmax on his web site.
    If that's the right ones?

    Those are the right ones, I'd have some as well, trouble is you can't get them by post. Bit of a daft rule I think, you can order FMJ bullets but not expanding ones, I don't see the point.
