Hodgdon shows 1800-2000fps for a 40gr bullet in a 8-3/8" handgun barrel.

It will obviously do better with a closed breach and longer barrel. Maybe Mike has some figures on his Topper Jet.

My brother-in-law shot his first deer at 40 yards with this rifle and cartridge @ 1965.
I could not get it to shoot accurately - but I ran out of patience and sold it to a nice man on ebay..
Ballistically it is a Hornet.
I tried H-110 and 4227.
Good luck,
Harold

Yep. And if you punch it to a 22 Super Jet, it is a whole lot more then a K-Hornet. Short, large powder column, just like the PPC series and the new short mags. I'm really looking forward to seeing "if this dog will hunt".

I have not chronied my jet, but the powder (I-4227) and charge weight is very simiilar to what I'm using in my 218 BEE, about 12.8 grains in the BEE with a 40-gn vmax.

The BEE clocks at 2950fps with this load, which is very hot.  I shoot it in my Ruger #1 and my Marlin lever.  I chronied it in an older (pre-NEF) hornet that I'd had punched out to 218.  It got kinda sloppy after about 2000 rounds, I didn't know about shimming ang feeler-gauging so when Marcus said he wanted it for a project, I sold it.

I'm using 12.? grains with a 35gn vmax.  I'd hafta look to see exactly how much but I'm guessing the velocity is well over 2500fps.  It's definately more gun than the hornet.

12.8/40gn/218BEE is a max load, I re-work it every time I get a new lot of powder (which ain't often since an 8-pound keg goes a looong way).

I have not slugged the bore but it's working fine with .224 dia.bullets--they'd swage down easily anyway if the bore was .222, which I'm pretty sure it is not.
