Buddy of mine used them in a .22 hornet.
peels open a jackrabbit like a banana. Hits with a defined POP!

I've tried them a bit in a .222 Remington.

I've tried about 6 different loads, but haven't found any accurate ones yet. It is a really short bullet... I plan to try the 40gr Vmax next.

I've tried them in my .22 Hornet, with poor results in the accuracy department. Especially at over 3,000 fps muzzle velocity. I've had much better results with the 40-grain V-Maxes. Best accuracy has been with Berger's 40-grain MEF's.
