Hi all got just bought a hornet and wanted to know a rough price on hornadys 35gr vmax bullets. And what do you think of the priv 45gr sp

cheers Walshy

About £20 per box. If your rifle will group PPU ammo their prices make reloading not worth the bother.

As above if they group ok your on a winner with the privi, they group fine in my ruger.

Ive just bought a ruger but waiting for my ticket to come back so i can collect it. Ill try a few differents makes and see what the gun like cheers Walshy

Hi mate,

reloading would be the best option, but if you don,t then prvi ammo is your cheapest bet.

I have a ruger 77/22 in hornet and the 45 gns fire fairly accurate and have good stopping power down range, you can also keep the cases to reload if you ever change your mind

you won,t be disappointed with the little hornet.

Good luck.

Walshy, I've a Ruger Hornet and it's doing the business for me. I've had six charlies in the last three weeks with it, from between 70-100 yds. I'm on home loads now, thanks to a good friend but I've tried S&Bs which were ok. Like you say, try a few different loads first and get used to the gun and it's trajectory. I've just got used to mine having only had my FAC since the turn of the year and now it's paying off. I didn't do much to start with being content to shadow a mate who I lamp with. Now I go on my own. It's a good rifle is the Hornet.

Realoding is the way to get the best from a hornet,try this 35gn vmax under 12-12.3 grns of h110 dont go mad with the case chamfering,neck size only,lee collet dies work really well.

I use 35gr VMAX in my hornet over 13gr of lil' gun.

 

I have never found the need to deviate from this round for any purpose............

 

Flat shooting, hard hitting.
