As chance has it, Monday appears to be a primo day for casting outside. Temps in the 60s, wind expected to be 5mph or less.
I have diddled with the idea of buying 225438s, GC'd sized to .225, and Loobed, from Beartooth Bullets.

"A traditional style bullet designed for the .22 Hornet, which also performs well to about 2300 fps. in other center-fire .22 caliber cartridges. Very accurate when bullet seated to engage the lands when a loaded round is chambered."
But at $25 a hundred, I'd rather pull out my sweet RCBS pot (not like Colorado ) and fire up a bowl with some lead, then take some hits with a recent production Lyman dual cavity 225438 (after some fine tuning).
I have a hungry .22 Hornet to feed. 21" Contender with loads that are slow - 1,000 to 1,400 fps for the elusive Wisconsin Sabre Toothed Squirrel.. Honest Injun, they exist! Might be able to use some of that jug of Unique, or maybe Red Dot...
