Thanks lads for the responses. I think I will go ahead and get a box and give them a try....another excuse for some shooting Charlie, I wish I could reload for the hornet. Unfortunately, that is not an option here in Ireland at the minute. I am hoping that it might be possible in the future though. As I said I love the hornet and the CZ527 is a lovely rifle. Light enough to carry around easily and nicely balanced. I will let you know how I get on with the Federal's over the weekend.

I picked the hornet as I have a bit of a soft spot for it. I have used a couple in the past as some of my uncles had them and I always wanted one. I know a lot of lads go for the 223 over the hornet with better/cheaper ammo costs and the longer range. Thing is though, where I hunt the fields are relatively small so I don't need the extra range.

Hi all, I have recently upgraded my .22LR to a .22 Hornet (CZ 527). I am thrilled with it. The ammo is expensive but for the amount of shots I fire in a year it is not overly so. My local dealer's have a small selection of Hornet ammo and one of the options he has is Federal Premium V-Shok Soft-Point 45gr. Have any of the other Hornet users on here used these and what are your opinions on them? Are the Federal Premier V-Shok generally an accurate round? Thanks.
