Small Game Bullet for Hornet??

[William Iorg]

Jim,
I shoot the bulk hollow points in the Hornet and the K-Hornet with good results. I do have some problems with ricochettes with this bullet. Our ground is hard.
I believe you will have more satifactory results with the Winchester bulk 46 grain JSP's. The Sierra and Hornady bullets work fine too.
The premium plastic tip bullets shoot smaller groups in my rifles but the bulk bullets are not that far off and you can shoot a lot on the price difference. In my rifles the Nosler 40 grain ballistic tip is the clear accuracy winner with the Hornady right behind it. I do not have enough experiance with the 33 Speer but in my Bee it seems to shoot well. I am having a little health problem at the moment and only shooting rimfires so have not been able to shoot much in the last few weeks.
In my Hornet rifles brass preperation has done more for producing small groups than bullet selection. This is one cartridge that I believe benifits from deburring flash holes, uniforming primer pockets and trimming to uniform lengths. Do not mix brands of brass.
