Load Testing | 22 Hornet

[Elliott]

35 gn v max

Good bullet out to 150 yards. The 40gr V-Max pips it though and it far less affected by the wind. Depends on how much you shoot it I guess and what it's used for. If just the occasional fox, probably just as cheap to stick with factory stuff.

Sounds a good approach. Don't sell the Hornet, though. You'll give it a new lease of life if you start to reload for it.

Reloading can be really time consuming. Unless you've got the spare time you end up with "half developed" loads if you have multiple rifles to load for.

Like kids in a toy shop - you just want to play with them all

The secret is to do one shot groups

Once you got the receipies right for the hornet , they should shoot lazer like, i use Vhit 110/120 with sub 1" @ 100yds. 40/45gr s/p

Never used Vhit 110 or 120. What velocities are you getting? Whilst the velocities and accuracy at 100 yards seem great, I find the problem with Lil Gun is the extreme spread. I've seen upto 100fps, but with good accuracy on paper!
