So I picked up a Savage Model 340 E in 22 Hornet. I shot up some factory loads with 45gr pills and was highly disappointed in accuracy and velocity. I scrounged around and was able to pick up dies, Sierra 40gr SP and Nosler Varmegeddon 50 gr pills, IMR 4227, and I had IMR 4198 on hand. I’m out of small rifle primers but have a couple
thousand small magnum pistol primers. I was hoping to find some 40gr VMax’s, but had zero luck with that.
Since my powder and bullet choices are limited to what I currently have (I’m not paying $70 or $80 for 1 lb of Lil Gun or H-110), what are you guys loading with 4227 and 4198 with 40 and 50 gr projectiles? Also, how is velocity and accuracy?
I didn’t want to go up to 50gr bullets, but my selection, as you know is currently very slim. I simply don’t understand why or how production is so slow. Grrrrrrr
