Shot many test groups today out of my hornet. One series was with lilgun, and i took the load up to were i was getting sticky bolt lift, and i was averaging 2812 f.p.s. Being a novice to cast rifle shooting, I didnt think it was possible to drive a air-cooled wheel weight that fast. BTW, the bore never fouled at all. Once i got to 2750 f.p.s. the holes started looking funny in the paper.Oblong in shape,although i was still getting acceptable accuracy. This is the most intresting thing ive shot in a long while. Had some loads with 700x powder, started at 2 grs and they were going about 1200 f.p.s. These never hit the target! 1500 f.p.s. they started grouping, and by 1700 f.p.s. they were shooting under 1.5 inches @50. This is a 16 twist stevens rifle. Most accurate groups were with h-4227 @ about 2000 f.p.s. Had many groups with this powder around an inch or so. Have no intrest in super speed, but i wonder how fast i could drive this bullet? I guess its time to dig out the .222, and take it higher than 2800.
