[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1151970, member: 77249"] I helped a friend with a 22 Hornet rifle many years ago. We finally found a load with IMR 4227 Powder and Rem. Small Rifle Primer. and 45 gr. .223 diameter Hornet bullets. From your post you are using CCI 500 Primers. These are listed as Pistol Primers. From all the information I had access to and read as a Police Firearms Instructor, Pistol Primers have a hotter fire, To ignite powder quick in short barrels. And softer primer cups for more positive ignition with less striking force of a firing pin. A small case and a hot primer can cause a bullet to move before the powder is actually burning and moving the bullet out of the case prematurely. check the bore, That may be part of the problem. Good Luck on this rifle. [/QUOTE]
