I shot 14 grains of Lil Gun in Mine with the Hornady 45 grain HORNET bullets. I restocked with a Boyd's/Ross Laminated Thumbhole from a CUSTOMIZED Ruger 77/22 Magnum Stock that I had Glass and Pillar Bedded. I still ahve this stock if any of you guys with the Varmint Contour Barrel are interested. You can contact me for pics at: [email protected] NOT trying to steal a thread here, but I hate to see this stock sitting around and all this Hornet talk is about to make me spend money on another Hornet....I replaced mine with a .221 Fireball.
Anyone shooting Ruger 77/22 in 22 Hornet?

Well I tried the double pellets at 25 yards. They are very quite, but also all over the place.
Not worth while..
However, also tried a few 40 grain Sierra HPs, and 12, grains of Lil Gun. Virgin brass and a CCI-500 Pistol Primer. At 100 yards they gave a 0.60 inch group. Good load.
Same powder load with a 55 grain Hornady SP gave 2,800 fps and a 1.75 inch group at 100 yards. not so good
Also tried some very quite TRAIL BOSS loads.
3.0 grains of TRAIL BOSS, WW Brass and a Magnum Pistol primer.
34 gr Dog Town bullet was 1,625 fps and a 1.5 inch group at 100 yards. IT WAS WINDY. I could see the bullets in-flight through my 24 power scope.
40 gr Sierra HP was 1,414 fps and a 2.0 inch group at 100 yards
55 grain Hornady SP. NEVER LEFT THE BARREL.... DO NOT ATTEMPT>
