Hi Group,

I'm new here. Great discussions.

I spoke to Barnes about a load for the 36 grain Grenade and the 22 Hornet. They told me that they couldn't get the bullet to stabilize.

Has anyone tried this combination?

Thanks,

Larry

Can you divulge the amount of Lil'Gun and the OAL for your load?

Thanks,

Larry

Would not stablize in an Anschutz with a case full of LilGun. Groups were about 5" at 100 yds and evidence of some keyholing. For comparison, 40 grain V-max produce less than 1/2" groups. The Anschutz has a 1:16 twist.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
