Ruger #3 22 hornet
« on: March 30, 2003, 02:58:46 AM »
Hi guys:
I need some help with loads For a #3 22 hornet.
I tried a Hornady 35gr "V-max" over 11gr's of H 110 with less than desired results.
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim

Tell ya what I found, but it was with a 10" Contender.  With the 35 gr V-max, my most accurate load was at 10 Gr. of 296 (same as H110).  As I went up towards 11 gr., group size kept getting worse and worse.

None of the loads with the 296 and 35 gr V-max were as accurate as 11 grs of IMR 4227 and the Hornady 45 Hornet bullet.

Know you gun might like something totally different, but I hope this helps.
