Easy Bully Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Might be a long shot but has anyone got some 40gr vmax for the .22 hornet (.224) ? Am currently loading 35gr for my 527 American but wanted to try the 40gr without ordering a box of 100. I have ordered a box of Sierra 40grain Sp for comparison. Thanks for looking.

No problem, I’ve bought another box of 35gr from Reloading Solutions, they work so will stick with them. Was just going to try a comparison at distance. Thanks again for taking the time to look.

The long range performance of the 35g V Max is well documented on here. In short, it's a disaster - its BC will give you a clue. The calibre is traditionally associated with 45g and the Hornady Hornet tends to reflect why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had success with the Sierra 45gr SP but they were out of stock 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moly Are you single loading? I tried the bob sled but the round was catching on the chamber edge 🤔 and I’ve just read that you shouldn’t single fed by dropping a round in the chamber.....would like a Calhoon sled but can’t find one. may have to sort the single feed problem before trying the 40gr Vmax Edited July 3, 2020 by Easy Bully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
