I appreciate it Littlewolf. I received a whole bunch of help from a few guys here and I'd hate to impose anymore. Thank you so much for your offer!

I hate thieves, I'm in about the same situation with a hornet, I found a new in the box old stock charles daly superior grade last summer for the original sticker price. I finally got a bag of new brass and a Lyman M die. From what I've read it also has 1-16 twist which means that It would most likely shoot the 225438 reliably. I have been wondering if unique might work in the hornet. I hav'nt seen 2400 on a store shelf or online in years
I found this thread for you: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...or-a-22-Hornet
I'd figure 3-5gr of unique with a 45gr boolir will work great. I've been using 2gr bullseye for a 50 yard load with NOE WFN 45gr boolits Rich was generous to send me.

I dearly love the 22 Hornet and have subscribed to this thread.

How's 3 grains working with that bullet? I haven't gone above 2 with it being plain based and that seemed good enough. I don't use it in my bolt gun like yours, but in my 219, which is inherently a less accurate rifle, it's almost like I can't miss with it when hunting.
Did you get that WFN to feed through the magazine in your 340?
Oh yea Rich, the NOE WFN feeds perfectly fine. I could get the OAL for you after church.
2gr! I didn't go up to 3gr for Bullseye. That was a typo I'm going to fix ASAP in the above post! I'll test it up to 3gr, but I haven't gone there yet!

Well this will tell you how hectic my week has been! Here are those OAL numbers I was supposed to get to y'all "after church" last Sunday.
Lee Bator 45gr - 1.650
NOE WFN 45gr - 1.640
Lyman 225438 41gr - 1.745
Lyman 225415 50gr - 1.756
Using PPC 22 Hornet Bass trimmed with a Lee case trimmer to minimum length, chamfered, deburred and flash hole deburred.
Boolits were seated to meet two requirements:
1) Fit the Savage 342 magazine to feed properly (1.770 MAX)
2) Seat the cast boolit touching the lands in my grandfather's rifle.
I have 35 boolits loaded up, ready for testing. The scope bonking out really hindered my testing though. I haven't had the time to fiddle with it. When I have more data. I'll be sure to post here though. Maybe the information will help somebody?

Finally shot the NOE WFN at 1.5gr and 2gr at the above OAL's.
1.5gr Bullseye gave me 4 shots within 1 inch @ 25yards w/ 1 flier
2gr Bullseye gave me 5 shots within 1/2 inch @25 yards w/ no flier
No fouling. Report was less than a 22lr so much so one of my goats walked over in the field and laid down 5 feet from where I was shooting... and just watched me while she was chewing her cud. Report and recoil was so low I actually checked after several of the shots if they squibed.
