nice to have found some other hornet shooters. I was looking around for info on improving the trigger on the 77/22H. I took mine to the range monday to test some rounds and after shooting a really nice trigger on another target rifle at the range, this one needs some work. I know Rifle Basix makes a nice trigger for the 77/22 that will work on the Hornet version, any other suggestions for a smooth trigger?
as for loads, I have the following loads to test:
40gr Vmax
H110 powder loaded from 11, 11.5 and 12gr
LilGun but I don't remember the loads. didn't seem to like them.
34gr Midway DogTown HP bullets
H110 11 and 11.5 gr loads
LilGun 12, 12.5, and 13gr loads
overall it seemed to like the longer OAL's better (1.80" vs 1.745") and the best loads were 11.5gr H110 in both the 40gr Vmax and the 34gr DT bullets. I did one load of 45gr Nosler SP but it didn't seem as good as the 40gr Vmax.
I know most recommend the 35gr Vmax but I had already bought 250 of the 40gr.
didn't get great groups as it was windy monday but at least I had fun playing...
