Thread: 22 hornet load worked a treat

hi all i have a couple of elderly 22 hornets one is a savage 23d made in the mid 1930s and the other is a bsa hunter late 1950s i have had mixed results so far but i have found that 12.5 grains of little gun and a small pistol primer 40 grain sierra bullet has tightend up my groups from 25 mm to between 8-12 mm at 50 meters i am quietly happy with that load both have excellent bores although the bsa has a small stain 3 inchs from the muzzle im not keen to shortend as it shoots great i have had the crown freashened up awhile ago.
