Hornet target bullets

[amc577]

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a "non expanding" target bullet for the .22 Hornet. Several BBS users have contacted me. I have managed to find a supply of the S & B 45gn FMJ and I am advised by Reloading.org.uk (Bristol) that they will be getting some in this week. The S & B 45gn jobby is the only target bullet I can find, suitable for the Hornet. I am still looking into the use of a cast bullet and when I get a supply I will report on the results.

I would have thought the issues are there because th le hornet although a great cartridge is not a target round really

Plinking at targets, yes. Target shooting, as we understand it, Jim, no.

Now if the UK did metallic silhouette shooting, it might be useful..

I bought a load of BRNO581 spares a few years back, how many is his minimum purchase and how much is after? I tried 52gr SMKs last week but with a COAL of 1.85 and 11gr of lil gun I was getting pressure signs.

I have a target condition for the Hornet and it would be nice to use it at the club at the shorter ranges, the main reason being each time i take Danny will regret selling it!

Ive just walked in after knocking up over a thousand of these little beauties. After adding lube they weigh out at 40 grains. NOE 225107 5 gang mould. Just what youre looking for I would think.

Edit: Ah well that was a waste of time, apparently I dont have permission to post attatchments, how archaic.

It's in the rules chap, the BBS does not allow attachments to anyone, you can however post a link to a photo hosting site.

It saves download bandwidth or some such.

Ah!, The posting permissions box below appears to imply that it was a personal thing re not posting attatchments.

How very quaint for an internet forum in the 21st century.

(i always wondered how the hell anyone expected to sell anything without pictures in the sales section)

Edit: No wait, I CAN post pictures in the for sale section, its just that most people dont seem to bother.

Hornady do a 55gr FMJ.
