Thanks for the response, Mr. B. For years, I used the 50 gr Speer TNTs in my .223 and it was all I seemed to need for most CA ground squirrel shooting. Then I won the .22-250 Kimber at a FNRA dinner and started loading it with V-Maxs and Ballistic Tips. I had a helluva time getting the gun to shoot and finally got "OK" accuracy with H-414 and 5o g plastic tips. It just took a while ( a couple hundred rounds) to shoot in, I guess, as it suddenly started shooting much better. Then I switched (upon reading your remarks) to Big Game and the rifle started shooting the same 50 gr bullets into one hole. I now use 40 gr plastic tips in the .223.

But I sure want a CZ Varmint in .17 Hornet...

Here is my son with "our" Kimber -
