Newest Acquisition in 22 Hornet

[titus123]

I just picked up this Wycliffe 76 rifle in 22 Hornet. The scope is an old Japanese made Tasco with ranging reticle. Now I just need to bed the forearm, and work up some loads. All that said, I can't find any load data for the 35 grain VMAX or Nosler Varmigeddon bullets with CFE BLK. Any insists with this bullet/powder combination is greatly appreciated....
Regards to all, Eric

Hodgdon has info. Velocity's are pretty low with CFE BLK but it shot very accurate in my Anschutz 1730 K-Hornet.

I have Lil' Gun on hand, and can pick up H110 locally, as well as W296

Very nice Titus. For the Hornet if you can find it I have always favored 2400.

In my area 2400 is like hens teeth, impossible to find, lol

AA1680 if you can locate some. Beats LilGun

This for my k-hornet and about as much as I can cram in a case.

cfe-blk is a outstanding powder in the Hornet
I use it quite a bit and have found it give very good accuracy with all the bullets I use from 30-50 gr's.
good choice

I use W296 in a 10 inch Contender and a
Ruger 77/22 K Hornet

I had great accuracy with both Lil Gun and 1680 pushing the Barnes 30's out of a CZ 527.

I see a load of loads worked up using Pistol primers in the Hornet. Is there a benefit?

For me, there is a huge benefit. I`ve found that loading with pistol primers gave me the best accuracy. It is of my own opinion, rifle primers are just to hot for the little Hornet.

The Rem 6 1/2 was designed for the Hornet.

That's what I'll be using, I have 1000 of them, lol

Just because something may have been designed for something, doesn`t always mean its a perfect fit.

It`s nice that we have options.

How good was your accuracy with the Barnes 30’s?
If you crony’d them , what velocity did you get?
I have an interest in trying them in my model 43 hornet.

Agreed. My group sizes were cut in half using CCI 450. (K-Hornet).
