Who Makes The Best .22 Hornet?

[broknaero]

Great results! Looks like a keeper there! Yes please share this load data. I have a M77 I cant get to dial in. I feel like I'm patterning a shotgun with it. My CZ Hornet likes most loads I feed it, but I love the looks of a Ruger. Unfortunatly looks take a back seat to accuracy to me. Is that a Li'l gun load that shot that well?

Yup,It's 12.7 gr. Lil' Gun Powder,under a 35gr. V-Max,with a WSR primer! Works in my gun. You may have to go up,or down a 10th. grain. The starting load is 12.0 grs. Max is 13.0 grs. http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp

ok now the next part...can the ruger be made in to a 22k hornet??

Yes it can! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif You can have a "good gunsmith" ream the chamber,and sizing die out,and your good to go. It's better to have a sizing die reamed than buying a K die. Since the same reamer is used for both the chamber,and die,it will be a perfect match! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
