Handloading the .22 Hornet with H&R Handi Gun II

[Mr.Smith]

I have a H&R Handi Gun II in .22 Hornet. Shoots great with factory ammo so I ordered dies.

I need a good SAFE and accurate load for this little rifle (it has a Nikon scope now on it.)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

H110 / Win296 , LilGun or IMR 4227 , all of these powdes do very well in the little Hornet , mine loves the 37g Calhoon bullets best , but will shoot the 35g Hornady V-max and the 40g Speer TNT's  good also .
 
Any of these powder / bullet combo's will give you 1 1/2" or less groups @ 100 yards all day long .

I use the 34 gr Midway "Dogtown" bullets and 10 gr of IMR 4227, quite accurate in mine.

I'm shooting the Remington 45gr HP out of all of my Hornets with H110 powder. The Ruger #1 has won numerous 200 yd offhand balloon bust trophies.
