yes sir had the trigger worked sometime back, its around 2 1/2 -3 lbs.
I sighted it last week at 50 yds and it did a clover leaf on 3 -3 shot groups, around a 1/4 inch with my handloads. At 50yds it puts me .4 high at a 100 and dead on at 130yds and 3.5 low at 200yds

I'm just starting to handload for my hornet. What bullets and loads do you use ? Do you take head/neck shots or does heart/lung shots work as well?

Ive used 45 gr hornadies and 50 gr nosler bt handloaded with equal success also remington 45gr HP's factory loads with equall success.
All my shots are to the neck of deer and the head of hogs, everything has gone straight down.
the only thing i shot in the body was a small 50lb pig, with rem 45 gr hp's, it had like 3 exit wounds, also went straight down from about 25 yds from a stalk I put on him.

I have a CZ527 American w/21.9 inch Barrel and single set trigger. It wears a VXII 3-9x33mm EFR It does Sub-MOA with these loads.

12.6grs of LilGun, CCI-500 primer, 40gr Berger HPV, @2980fps.
12.5grs of LilGun, CCI-500 primer, 45gr Speer SP, @2900fps.
AA1680, Federal 205 primer, 40gr Sierra SP, @2720fps.

You must use the CCI 500 SPP with LilGun as is listed in Speer latest manual. The AA1680 load I forgot the charge weight but its out speers or Hornady manuals. The Speer and Sierra are the hornet bullets, the Berger is not a hornet specific bullet. I user the Lee Collet neck sizing die.

This is my Varmit ONLY gun I have much better big game cartridges like these: 270win, 35rem, 358win, 35whelen.
