You will need ear protection if your firing more than 10 rounds in quick succession. I dont have one one mine at the mo and its usable and no louder than a shotgun in anycase.

Underdog Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I don't bother with parralax adjustable scopes, in over thirty years I have done fine without. Hornet does not recoil strong, if your on a budget a budget scope will serve however it may deteriorate over a ten year period. One thing to think about is that with a centerfire just a few good shots in the field will be satisfying. What I mean is where as a plinking session with an airgun involves many shots and also a 22lr maybe but with a CF just a few is rewarding. U.

kent Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 A hornet should compare with a .410 both unmoderated, the charge is about similar and the powder (as a guide only) the guns are light and handy so the moderator is no disadvantage. I think PA or not depends on the mag levels you choose and the ranges you wish to shoot over. Without question fine tuning the parallax helps produce accurate shooting when and were you have time to fiddle, off hand shooting at targets of short opportunity forget it likewise most lamping situations, waiting out vermin at extended ranges? yeah I use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 how about hawke scope sport hd-ir 4-12x50 is it any good and suitable for hornet . is 12x mag enough or go higher. if not what you recommend with no ao adjustment. for about 200-250 gbp.

Amazed Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 but mag up to 12x is it enough or i need to go higher I don't think you will be needing more than 12x really pal. Pace out 200 yards put a target down and have a look see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I don't think you will be needing more than 12x really pal. Pace out 200 yards put a target down and have a look see what you think. will go on field soon and check so simple yet superb advice. is anyone have reloading data for lil gun powder. i am thinking about using this one for reloading because it will do .410 as well.

kent Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Basically with LIlGun your looking at a case full 11-13 grns behind a 40-45 grn bullet will give you top performance. Pushing a 45grn bullet your 10,000 cup lower pressure than H110 and getting another 100 fps at top end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not if your using Hornet specific bullets and a std magazine. Just load to std spec 1.720" I like a dialable on the Hornet and use a 6-18x40 Leupold with target turrets. Yesterday I had 3.5 moa windage dialled in to deal with a stiff wind at around 110-120 yds, if I needed to shoot further that day I might have seriously struggled with Kentucky style, likewise on any long shots. Have you got a powder dropper a funnel and case tray? if not they will make things a lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 i do have funnel case tray ( i am making it from nice block of wood) how about case trimmer. and scope so how about anything from MTC like mamba or viper (but adjustable paralax i am not sure about ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazed Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 i do have funnel case tray ( i am making it from nice block of wood) how about case trimmer. and scope so how about anything from MTC like mamba or viper (but adjustable paralax i am not sure about ) I have been told the mtc scopes are very good for the money I have cases on there 3 rd and 4 th fireing and they haven't grown at all in length its the base that seems to swell on mine. Are you full length or just neck sizing your brass ? As fl you will prob need a trimmer eventually Neck sizing only you will need a body sizing die eventually as they will swell at the base of the case making them a bit tough to get in the chamber but this should be many firings down the road.

alendil Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 i do have full body one and neck only. i think i will have to get over paralax adjustment and get scope at last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I don't FLS, by the time that comes around the brass will be well on its way out on a hornet. up to 7 firings on my current batch of RWS and not a single chambering issue. I use an LE Wilson neck die with the appropriate bushing and don't anneal. I think the accuracy gradually has faded but its still as good as it needs to be for hunting. I don't trim any brass till I have to the brass will be dud before it gets too long I suspect As for scope I wouldn't like to say as I have no real experience of those you mention. My scopes are all Leupold or S+Bender , with the exception of two Simmons WTC I have on a couple of air rifles. PA is a good idea for precision work or mag higher than 10x though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alendil Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 So if reloading only neck size brass not fl. Thx for tip. i am going to look at the scopes next week and my budget is 250gbp so MTC is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
