Ok so finely got out to test the 30grn match started with AA1680 from 9grn to 10.6 , i found the best been 9.7grn which put 5 shots into one hole-ish at 100yds .

Having had a couple left over i sat watching some pigeons and a couple of hares, then i saw a couple of gingers away done the field first shot right under its legs, Gave it a while to calm down then i saw 2 again second shot didnt miss .
Nice heart lung shot with the 30grn at 382yds lights out.

Hmmm... Now you got me wondering about trying 30 grainers. Lol. Am curious on what primers you run in your .17 Hornet? I currently only use cci 400's but have read several recommendations about using Rem 7.5's. Any thoughts?

I use CCI400 in the .17 Hornet, My next test will be 25grn soft point, 25grn Hp and 30grn Rebated Hp. these are all hand swagged not by Yet lol.

Been out the morning with some of the 30grn Match and boy do they pillow case pigeons , not overly far but from 110yds to 270yds .
