I fancied experimenting with something different so I picked these up, neither very cheap but looked interesting.

I've not shot the hornet's yet, that brass tip is very sharp so I'm interested to see what penetration is like.

The Hypermax I'm disappointed with, my Pro Sport shoots 15.9gr AA Hunter at 560fps and the 9.9gr Hypermax around 600fps. I was thinking they would be faster than that, they're very hard and have a loose fit in the breach, could that be the problem? would it help if I push the pellet further in somehow?
