There seems to be more folks casting than when I started about 20 years ago. Yet there is very little data out there that has been updated to any extent.
The hornet can be a little darling or a little brat. I have had both experiences. I have pretty much parted ways with the .22rf, I still have enough guns and ammo in the caliber. I just don't find it as fun when shucking out $5-10 per 50 of mediocre "target" ammo.
Thus my reason for turning back to this one, but with more cast than jacketed. I worked up some loads and came up with some that are running 3/8-1/2" @ 50. I am happy with it to say the least, but the loads used powders that were discontinue this year or last.
Looking at longshot and it seems like it would work, but no data. Same thing with the new BE86 powder.
Any of you folks that have input I am all ears.
Looking to try a Lee factory crimp die and tighten groups even more.
TIA
Jeff
