| Great bullet, but some Hornets with the common 1:16 twist have a hard time stabilizing bullets heavier than 45gr. If yours has the 1:14, the odds are better. Good luck and good shootin'. |

| I have loaded these in my K-Hornet with very good results.. I haven't had a chance to use them on game, yet, but my load gives me about 2825fps, with pretty decent accuracy.. groups about 7/8 to 1 1/8 inches at 100yds..... and my benchrest technique isn't the best in the world... like has been mentioned before, the faster twist barrels give you a better chance of stabilization/accuracy. I plan on loading some more up and going after coyotes with them... I know the 40gr VMax works on the dogs... I'm thinking the TNT might be better. |

| ... I used to have a Handi Rifle in 22 Hornet... it was a lot of fun, once I fixed it to not fling the brass back over my shoulder when I opened it.... I probably should have kept it, but I had a hankering for a Contender carbine.... who knows... I might end up with another one, since my contender is a K..... |
