22 hornet

[daniellybbert]

Im getting a new to me hornet. I was wondering what would be a good start for reloading invintory. Its a BRNO. Not sure of the twist (any help?). I have heard good things about lil gun. I also like vmaxs too.
Any help from those that know would be great.

I use imr 4227 in my BRNO with 35gr vmax. lil gun is good too but I have not tried it. Your rifle will tell you once you try a few loads. Follow what manuals say and you are good to go.

I use 13 grains of lil gun and a 35 grain vmax in my browning abolt, welcome to the hornet club!

Oh and try small pistol primers instead of small rifle

Be careful with pointed bullets, most will not work in the magazine. I like Sierra's.

Y the pistol primers thats interesting. Im super excited to get this hornet. Look out gophers and magpies.

Congratulations on the new Hornet! Which model of Brno are you getting?

Neck-sizing, pistol primers and Win 296 with 35grV-Max to 40gr Nosler Balistic Tips have worked for me (ZKW 465).

Have fun in the gopher patch!

Welcome to the club! They are a pleasure. Had a Bruno and made it into a K. That just caused it to have feed problems . I still use win 680 powder in the other 2 I have so can't help with other powder. Just a note, my son from age 12 to now at 26, always took the hornet as first pick when we went to the gopher patch. Some cal have a higher "gore score" but few are more fun.

I'm using Win 296 powder with Remington 6 1/2 small rifle primers and Sierra 45 gr SPs.

MOA if I do my part.
