Just starting to wring out this rifle now, and the 1st results are in... apparently, it really likes the Sierra 45 sp, as I shot 3 consecutive sub-MOA groups with it... That was with new brass, no load development, and 3 different loads. I do believe this one is going to be a keeper.

I only have one problem. I lost the paper slip with the loading data that was in the box... :-(

Ah well, I'll have to start over again! suffice to say, I was shooting a combination of VV N110 and WSP primers.

Next time with some fireformed, necksized brass - I'm having high hopes! This rifle is so nice to shoot I'll end up shooting way too many cartridges per session - no barrel heating up, no earsplitting booms, quite decent accuracy. I'm getting to like the .22 Hornet, no doubt about it!

Also, just finished measuring the latest groups with H&N 45 gr RN bullets and VV N110 POI is quite a bit lower than with jacketed stuff, but the best part is the 0.65 - 1.0 groups I can shoot consistently (when I do my part...). This is NOT a jacketed bullet, but swaged lead, copper-coated with an anti-friction coating. For more information, check out H&N web site . No, I am not linked to this company, and just started testing the bullets, but the results are pretty good... Even with this .22.

Pretty classic rifle! What scope do you have mounted on it? rollinghills
