The 22 Hornet: Uses: Your Choices in ammo, on animals, results

[dchum]

Me and @jnotzon have been getting his grandpas (RIP to a great man and legend) little Ruger 77 .22 hornet dialed in.

It now wears a gloss 4x Zeiss Diavari which we both think is perfect . We are still looking for its most accurate factory load.

I’m am very lucky he will be letting me use it as we both are going for a Damara Dik Dik in May together on our Namibia safari with @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS

Actually has an old Zeiss Diatal-C 4x marked West Germany… incredibly bright scope. Have shot Winchester Super X out of it and it’s right at an inch at 50 yards. Need to test some other ammo as @dchum mentioned and stretch its legs out to 100 yards.

Are you guys reloaders? If so I am sure you can tighten up that group and you have time. I have that exact rifle and get decent groups at 100 with it.

No neither of us are. We’ve only tried just Winchester super X

I’m sure we will try some different more quality ammo and get it sorted a little better.

Fingers crossed - but even right now I think it would get it done if needed haha.
