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.

Handloads. I put the recipe in the initial thread.

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'.
