I finally found some of this stuff at Al Simmons, and bought the 6 remaining boxes. It seems pretty hard to find. So far, Prvi, Remington and Winchester do not shoot all that well out of my rifle. I'm hoping I see an improvement with these bad boys.
 
The 35 grainers shoot fine out of my Browning Low wall 22 hornet. I got groups of just under an inch. The previous owner had a bunch of ammo loaded with the 35 V max with Hodgdon Lil' gun. I haven't tried anything else.

If I can achieve similar results, I will be thrilled. Right now, the bullets are all over the place... typically no better than 5 inch groups.
 
I am using the 40gr v-max in my Anschutz,and with 12.5 to 13gr of LilGun and rem 6-1/2 primers,it shoots a lot of sub 1/2" five shot groups.I do have to trim the bullet tips to fit the magazine though,but it doesn't effect accuracy.
 
I have a CZ 527 Hornet and it loves that factory 35gr Hornady round. I too tried the Privi and the accuracy was poor in my rifle. FS
 
If your rifle is anything like mine, you will have a big smile on your face! Shooting a hornet is 10x more fun then shooting a Rimfire but only 2x more fun then shooting a bigger calibre.... :)

Well I like all my bigger calibres: 7x57, 308, and 45-70, but lately, I've been experiencing renewed enjoyment out of my favourite intermediate calibre: 7.62x39! :)
