Hornet K

[223AI]

Highest recorded velocity was 3436fps Barns 30gn with 12.5gn

Screaming along! might have to get some and see what they do in the standard hornet with 13gr behind them!

Boydy - just get a few to test with, the Barnes were terrible in my CZ, all over the place. I ended up giving 3/4 of a box away.

Mines also a CZ 527 groups were not as tight with lighter loads 12-12.5-13gn but the 13.5 was a raged single hole.

got some done to try at 100-150yds when I get the chance.

I think I'd struggle to get more than 13 in the case, definitely wont get 13.5 in apparently rem brass is a bit more roomy and will take up to 14 grains of some powders.

Hmmmm k hornet reamer perhaps

or a different powder ?
H110 maybe, my book quotes 12.3gn as max load with 35gn V-max for 3100fps in a std case.

Yeah that's a good point, the hodgdon site gives the same weight for the max load for the 30 gainers out of the standard case, giving 3150 fps

Well I had a nice afternoon re-zeroing, having changed mounts to a weaver rail to get the correct eye relief, and It definitely seems to like the 30gn barns @ 13.5gn lilgun,
easy sub 1/2" groups at 50yds & 1" at 100yds. I suppose I ought to try some fine tuning at 0.1gn increments to see if I can get down to 1/2" at 100yds

Unfortunately the V-max 35gn @13.5gn were only doing 1.5" at 100yds so I guess a bit more testing of those is required.

I can see this rapidly becoming addictive
