    Brno 22 Hornet

    I just picked up a old Brno Fox 22 Hornet, I was wondering if anybody is casting for 22 hornets and what moulds are they using.

    I have used a Lyman 225438 (41gr weight with plumbing scrap) with very good results as long as I keep my velocity <1750fps. Otherwise I get crazy leading. Accuracy is 1.25 moa in a Savage 340A. Puts the smack on ground squirrels for my son!!

    NOE 37 grain 10 cavity mold
    Five with Gas check, five with plain base
    Plain base with powder coat and 2.5 grains of Dupont Bulk give a jagged 1/2 inch hole at 25 yards.
    Go now and pour yourself a hot one...

    For my magazine fed Anschutz's I also like the NOE 37 gr. bullet, it i my primary bullet for .22 hornet. For some of my single shots in Hornet I also like the NOE 45 gr. WFN bullet.

    In the pic below I show some culls as examples L t R:

    NOE copy of the RCBS 55 gr.
    NOE 45 gr. WFN plain base but I also hav a GC version
    NOE 37 gr.

    Cast for 22 Hornet

    I saw some folks casting for the 17 Hornet so I decided to try some for my Ruger #3 22 Hornet. NOE seems to be working good for me! By the way, this is 10 shots!
