I have recently taken up IHMSA pistol silhouette shooting. I bought an Anschutz Exemplar to shoot the smallbore version. Now I would like to shoot the Field Pistol version too.
The 22 Hornet is the overwhelming favorite due to the low recoil. It is less than optimal for the Rams, sometimes it will leave them standing even with a 55 gr bullet. I ordered some 62gr bullets to try for Rams. Now I am looking for a lighter than 55gr bullet for the first three animals, something 40 to 45 grs.
Inexpensive, < $.15/piece preferred, closer to $.10 would be even better. Oh, accuracy potential too. LOL Doesn't need to be BR potential, MOA or better would suffice. Bulk ok.
Hornet brass is very thin and weak. Flat based bullets are problematic, causing crushed cases. Boattail bullets preferred.
