Default RE: 22 Hornet

I found a combination that shot really well in my Ruger 77/22 hornet. After trying several differnet combos without much success, I did some research on the net and found some guys that used Small Pistol primers instead of small rifle primers, and they used Hogdons Lil' Gun powder. So I decided to give it a try.

I have the load written down at home but I know it was 13gr lil gun with small pistol primer and the bullet that worked the best for me was a 40gr sierra varmiteer hollow point flat back. Itwill shootunder 1/2" consistently with this load. I don't know if it was the primer or the powder but the combination worked really well.
