Back to the .22 Hornet

Post by Shakey Jake » Sun Mar 08, 2020 5:14 pm

Got a little bored this afternoon so went to the range with the Ruger M77. I'm shooting Winchester brass and primers with 10 gr. H110 and Speer 45 gr soft points. I shot 22 rounds at the first target and 26 rounds at the second. The targets were set up at 50 yards.

Great shooting. I’ve always wanted a 22 Hornet.

Nice shooting. Are you using a scope?

Yes, I need to with my eyes. I was using a Burris 4.5-14 × 42.

Do you load your own Jake or are those factory rounds. Great shooting. Looks like your eyes are doing better for you.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Nice shooting. I like the Ruger 77s, both the M-77 and the 77/*** series. Good looking and handling rifles.

I picked up a Hornet this past winter, and am hoping to spend some time with it when the weather warms up. It is a Brno ZKW 465 that was in need of some lovin'.
