14.0grs of 296 in a R/P case. 33gr V-Max(moly),.005" into lands. 3450fps,out of my 20" barrels.

Whistles through the clip and will shoot in the .3's and .4's,in my 77/22 Ruger's. I've got four of them,they are amongst my favorites............

Look at trying the Lil-gun from hodgdon, greater velocity less pressure!Its the new kid on the block.
Look in the small caliber forum,hornet powders!!!

Hey Hutt,
A great little caliber. Use one here in Montana for gophers and prairie dogs. Mine is a custom barreled BRNO ZKW-465. It has a longer throat than usual, which allows longer seating of 50gr Blitz and "TNT" bullets. I have a single shot block in place of the magazine, so in effect mine is a single loader. All of my loads are too long for the magazine.
My favorite load is 15.0 gr of AA1680, a small rifle primer and a 50 gr Blitz or "TNT" seated out to the lands. I am getting 3000fps with 50gr bullets out of a 24" barrel. No pressure signs. Under an inch at 100yds.
The usual warnings go with this load: It is safe in my rifle. So, start with maybe 13.0 grains and work up.
Also, this powder only works well with 45-50gr bullets in my rifle.
Good shooting.
The Bearman

Try the Winter 2000 edition of Small Caliber News. Great K-Hornet article by Harold Miller. He follows it up in the Fall 2001 edition of Small Caliber news, also.
Regards, George.
