Cheesy, Glad to hear from ya. I shoot mostly tipped 40 gr. Varmageddon's or V-max/N. BT's and always 13 gr. LG and CCI 450's, MD's load. I go to MT every year around Memorial day for a week's goph. shooting (about a thousand rnds in the hornet + several in other guns). When my ship comes in I'll get it barreled to a 17-Hornet of some sort for more speed and less recoil. I doubt that it would shoot much better though. Again get Lee's trigger job and DBC the barrel!-Muddy
