bigrich wrote:2000 fps OB ? that's 22 mag teritory. hmmmmm. think i need to look harder at this reloading caper. dunno if i should but. might make some of my rifles redundant. so you just do soft loads of established data and do a bit of range time with a chrono ?

Bladeracer, I'm interested in this load, Im assuming it's trailboss? How accurate and what sort of range is it good for?

Reckon I’ll end up with a CZ527 in .22 Hornet.

I would have tried it on bunnies if holdover were the only factor...
When i get time ill try a load test & see if i get a charge that groups well & is only vertically challenged (Low with no windage shift) but i doubt ill be lucky there.
