In PA myself. Ive had a couple over the years. The 87 gn TNT was extremely accurate and vg speed. Small cloverleaf with 5 shots.

This method may work well for guys that don't know how to shoot..

i bet you didn't switch those. ive recorded a lot of velocities shooting groups. in a "scatter node," it's common to see velocities from a lower charge be faster than the load with more powder. Ive also seen it go the other way. you are seeing why just one shot is not enough to see what is going on one of your shots could be on the edge of the spread.

the satterlee method. im curious to see how this all works out for you. I've never had luck with it.

oooohh😬 ive gotten skewed results with the magneto speed on for velocities and groups.

Love the ladder detail you put into load development. Keep testing more combinations, but for hunting that last group shows that combination will work.

Ditch the hammers

Good testing and results, brother. 👍

Did you find out what was wrong with your 22 Hornet?

Shooting 90gr AH 92gr HH and 95gr HHT

With the hammer bullets. Once I find pressure I load down .2 grains until I found accuracy. And I’ve had great luck with h-4350 imr-4350 n-160 and n-165 in my 25-06 with hammer bullets

ALWAYS ONE ! Aint that the truth ?!. Mine new 1885 is in 6.5x55. Its a low wall though. They shoot very well without alot of dickin round.

I had excellent results with 40 vmax and 13 gr of H110 but had to single load because of my seating depth. 👍

What gun shop did obtain your rifle

Awesome video buddy. Love the 26-06 and hammer bullets

You should never change your scope setting when you’re just checking for groups. Until you settle on the tightest group, that’s when you set your scope for that group.

Sweet rifle!

Also what length of barrel and twist rate on the barrel

What bullet are you shooting for those speeds ???…that’s a hot load

Diff scope and ck all your mounts also stock screws should do better than that for a hornet if your reloading ck the data again

Nosler ballistic tip will stop in the varmint... if anything comes out the other side it will just be fragments. I've recently acquired the exact same rifle you are shooting in this video. Ruger 77/22 all weather. AFTER I purchased it, I started reading on various forums that these rifles have accuracy issues... I thought "great".. now that I just got one. I will need to look into this "bolt shimming", bedding it, and free-floating the barrel. My gun, though it does not appear to have been shot much has a 1.5 lb trigger as measured with a pull gauge. SOMEONE has done the trigger.. maybe they shimmed the bolt already? I will have to research this..

Good shooting ! Was it 100 or 200 yards ? I have same rifle but in .270 with same scope. Do you prefer sandbags over bipod and why? What model bipod is that, was it easy to install? Thanks

Is that the stock barrel? How long is it? How much didbyou havevto shim the bolt?

Nicely done Dalton and congratulations to both of you with your new baby boy.

Fun video! What state are you in? Congratulations on your baby!

Great video as always. Congrats on the new baby.

Why would you want to hunt deer with a 22 hornet??

Congratulations on the new baby . The 22 hornet i would definitely try a different scope

👍🏻👍🏻

I just started using h4350 in my 1-8 tikka 243 just 39 behind a 103 eld but 1/2 inch without a lot of load development .

New subscriber from mclean Sask. Thanks for sharing.

I am surprised at how the long range 243 target shooters calmly surpass the sami 52000 cup by a massive margin lol .

Seating depth test will tighten that 88gr up

Wow! Just WOW! 1 shot average? At least the group will be tight! Safety? No shooting glasses? Consult several sources. Not one. Primers are a poor way to determine pressure. Sad.

Great video!!! Thanks so much.

holes in paper do not look like straight though holes. I have shot a couple deer with 87 gr Hornady do not recommend them for deer, not reliable when you hit shoulder. I have a 1885 and the scope mount system completely sucks. If they had picatinny rail base it would be a major improvement.

Very strange that someone would do a 224" barrel in 1-14 rate of twist which is a terrible rate of twist that Highly limits the weight of bullets that can be used. I build and sell AR 10 uppers so one I do build and have sold is this 22-6mm Remington I used a Pac Nor super match barrel in 1-9 rate of twist so the guns owner can use a wide range of bullet weights.

I've seen you Guys do all these max loads No use I've figured out it Most Rifles don't like them and all this bedding crap is useless I've got a m77 mkII in hornet no use for all the Hoopla it shoots lights out...But i don't shoot max. Found out it just a Little mans syndrome deal...

As an old guy. Do the load development - groups and velocities - first. One a load is decided, then zero the rifle and load. Groups really do not depend on zero.

The velocity is probably more effected by the cartridge capacity than the bullet deformation energy

Is Cooper still in business? I don’t see them as much. Love the look of their rifles.

I'm doing the same for my .308 SHTF loads. 150gr Barnes ttsx and 150gr hornady 150gr fmj... tried 44.2grs of h335... Got 2740s with the hornady fmj and 2790s with the ttsx in 18" aero build. now I'm going to try 44.5grs.

I shimmed the bolt on my Ruger 77/22 Hornet a couple months back.I hope I'll see a significant improvement in accuracy. Previously I free-floated the barrel which didn't help a whole lot but didn't hurt either. Your results are encouraging!

I don't know where you got your reloading information from but it's way wrong. You CANNOT find an accuracy node with just one shot per powder load. You need at least 3 shots per powder charge and work your way up. Be very cautious about going over on your charge weights. Especially with Hornady Brass. You might be able to get 2 to 3 reloads at max charge or a little over but the brass will start to stretch. Especially in the primer pockets. I've been a Balistician for over 50+ years. I have loaded hundreds of different cartridges over that time frame. So I know what works. Speed is not everything. Furthermore, you should try at least 2 other types or brands of powder and see what they do. The 243 is an overbore cartridge. So using Stabal 6.5 would work really well in it. Great video but try doing what I suggested and you'll be very impressed.

I have found the key to accuracy in my Hornet was a Lee factory crimp die. It allows the very thin cases to hold the bullet for a better start pressure. I use Lil Gun and have had great sucess.

I highly recommend getting that rifle stock glass bedded if you haven't already.

As an advanced reloader making rifles in wildcat cartridges Reloaders can substitute 6.5 Stable for 4350 because the burn rate is the same. 6.5 Stable has a chemical anti fouling and removes fouling from barrels and is stable under all tempters.

Have a 1885 low wall hi grade in 6.5x55 swed. Great rifle but trigger is gritty and forend touches some. Other than that its a very nice rifle. What did you use to shim your forend? Great videos keep them coming.

I have a "25-250" (250 Savage, 250-3000) and use Barnes 80 gn TTSX at about 3300 fps and I believe it is perfect for everything.

Damn good video appreciate you
