[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 225177, member: 873"] Thanks for the info! I have shot the rifle this past week and the 40's V-max and the Bal-tips did well at 100yd running @2965fps with less than 1/2" 5 shot groups for both bullets. Lil' gun 13.4gr 205M primers. I tried some 55 fmj but they didn't even hit the target at 100, don't know where they went!. They where running pretty fast I think for that little case though (2850+). I did bump the load to 13.9 for the 40's running them at 3050 but they did not group well at all. I'm just looking for a good load to about 150 with the ability to hit well at 200 with this rifle. I have some 52gr match bullets (Nosler) to give a try also. Kirby, I had come across that info reading a few articles on the Hornet using pistol primers. I will give them a try somewhere along the way. loaders_loft, The 35gr Hornady factory's shot well in this rifle too but I want to shoot something heavier. They where the only factory that have shot at advertised velocity 3105 - 3120 fps [/QUOTE]
