My CZ Hornet shot the 50gr. SX just fine, with 13.gr. LG (RP brass) at 3,008fps iirc. I could look it up, but that's close enough.
My rifle also shot the 40gr. Ballistic Tip, which Nosler says needed a 14" ROT. However, I was getting well over 3,300fps with the LG load in RP brass, loads that will not fit in any other standard Hornet brass.
Amazing rifle & ctg. in THAT rifle. We found the same loads would work well in a Ruger M77.22Hornet as well as a TC Contender, both with 14" twists.
The Ruger would only do an inch at 100meters, but that was better than the 2" it did with normal Hornet loads.
The TC shot in the 3/4" range.
My CZ "Lux" shot sub 1/4" for 3-shot groups at 100 metes. The second CZ Hornet I bought did pretty much the same but didn't care which primer was used, rifle or pistol.
