Anyone using these 36 gr fbhp for .22 hornet? I bought some to try in .223 rem was wondering if anyone has used them in a hornet. I have load data for the Hornady 35 gr and may try to work up a load.
 
Well I loaded some up w/ 13.0 gr lil gun and was getting 3" groups and KEYHOLING at 50 yds, a little smaller at 25 yds but still keyholing. I am shooting it out of a CZ 527 which I think has a 1:14" twist. I don't know why it is keyholing, I have shot 40 gr ballistic tips out of it with a slightly smiliar shape or length anyway. Maybe the Varmint Grenades are too long and light. I may try loading lighter since I was probably at near max with the 13.O gr.
