I've been trying a few different bullets in the spitwad, including the 50gr sierra blitz. I discovered that this is NOT the same as a blitzking, and about 30% of them would blow up out of my 223. They work fine in the spitwad though. I also have a lot of milsurp pulled tracers, and I found that if I cut the tracer part off the back I get a 41gr bullet that works well in the hornet and spitwad: |

cool thanks for the update. I may have to pick one of these up for my wildcat.
the base of that bullet looks pretty good. are you using a tubing cutter or like a mini chop saw? curious how you got the nice rounded edges. |

SO you neck 'em down? To what?
What's the glass? Can't complain about the groups if they're all the same or close. PO Ackley made the .17/carbine he named .17 PeeWee back in 1950. I don't have his book, but, am sure I read that he'd made it up in .22 about the same time. Don't know what he called that one. Foxhunter? Where you at bud??

I cut the tracers in a lathe. Hold them with a collet and a stop that looks like a bullet seater. I ground a cutter that parts off the base and bevels the edge.
The scope on the mini is a vortex. I can't really recommend it, but for the price (xmas sale) it seems to work (unless it's cold). The turrets are good enough that it bounces between a few different rifles. Note the QD rings and the blue tape with zero settings for different rifles. It holds together on a light 338/300 RUM: Back on this topic: after years of picking up random junk carbine brass at the ranges I finally actually bought some new brass. I just got it necked down and annealed: Now I just need to set up the lathe to trim the length... |

The weather has been pretty nasty so I spent some time getting ready for some volume shooting this year. For some reason I'm having trouble finding the 40gr Hornady Zmax. These are pretty decent for the price, but I may have to look around for something else later on.

Good looking round & rifle, flyrod.
Have or do you use LG in that case. With RP brass at 14gr. capacity (or was it 15gr. - 1gr. more than WW brass) I easily hit 3,300fps with 40gr. bullets in the CZ Hornet, only sizing 3/16th in. of the neck.
