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

Since i got rid of my 6.5 creed i necked do my brass to 6mm creedmoor loaded with h4350 an 87gr hornady boattail hollow point it's extremely accurate probably my favorite coyote bullet

Nice rifle and nice shooting. Happy hunting 👍

Nice looking rifle and accurate

If you have any ccI 250 magnum primers laying around...load three up with the same charge. A little hotter primer might just eliminate the flyer. It does shoot very well already.

It can’t help but jump in that sled. I’ve never got my best groups in the sled

I have one too!! 6MM creedmoor high wall 28" barrel. I shoot about 3/8" groups with factory Hornady eld-x. The hornady varmint shoot really well too. Those lighter varmint rounds I recorded at just under 3300 FPS. If anyone has production numbers it would be great to know how many of these were made in the 6mm creedmoor. I found mine on the used rack at Scheels in Appleton, WI. I did find that my forearm is touching the barrel ALOT. I started sanding a little but decided I'm goin to glass bed the forearms instead when I glass bed one of my other builds coming up.

👍👍

I have shoot 65 75 87 103 105 107 108 gr all through my 6 creed everything I have loaded for it shot extremely well now I have found some long discontinued 100gr berger match bullets that I'm working on give the 95gr berger bullets a go they are also very accurate. Keep the videos coming

So long groundhogs!

How far you off the lands? Also is this brass been fired? Because that will change the case volume? Where you will Find the best results will be 95-100% case fill with we’re your bullet is seated. Well done on the video! Vary well explained.

Barnes makes some nice bullets. I’ve been reloading 22 Hornet for a very long time. Much of my channel is devoted to the Hornet. Nice video.

Primers don't always tell you max pressure . The manuals do .

When you think you're at max charge, re-reload the same 3 rds three times. If the primer pockets are still snug, you should be good. If not, maybe back off 1 grain. Brass is expensive. 😊

But that don't look like your average 243 from Walmart

Man that rifle eat it all
