wow.....you got those longer,heavier 50 grain Hornady sx soft points to stabilize and shoot accurate out of a 1/16 twist cz hornet?
I shoot 55gr Hornady's or Sierra's and now boat tails and used to shoot 60gr Hornady spire points in my 1-in-16 twist hornet. The 55gr bullets are indistinguishable from a 308 at 200m on turkey and do about the same damage on goat at under 100m as a 308 (chest shot, not shoulder) but makes smaller holes in the skin. The performance on goat surprized me! Obviously the 308 would do a
lot more damage if it struck shoulder bone.
I nearly forgot to mention - these loads all work through the magazine. The 60gr bullet is seated to the base of the neck over a compressed Lil'Gun charge. (I can only estimate velocity - based on trajectory - at around 2580fps. The 55gr loads get around 2680 fps). Accuracy is as good as anything else I have tried.
I should add; these loads are not overloads in my rifle, with the components and loading techniques I use.
