What bullets for Handi 22 Hornet?
« on: November 26, 2005, 04:51:22 PM »
Which bullet dia. gives better all a round performance in the Hornet? Is it the .223 or .224 size.
I just ordered my very last Handi, every caliber niche is filled. No more, that's it ,period.

Thanks harrygoat

How well does the .22 Hornet Handi-barrels ......

How well do the .22 Hornet Handi-barrels "modify" to .22 K-Hornet?

I want to shoot a Hornet type cartridge, but with a sharply defined shoulder in a chamber that slows case stretching and head-spaces off the shoulder.

Interesting that the 35 grain Hornady V-Max has turned in excellent performance.  

What about heavier bullet weights?

And what velocity were any getting with the 35 grain V-Max?  

On what length of barrel?

Thanks!
