another odd oddity

Post by robert w. »

i got a new H7R handi rifle in a trade 10 years ago.its in .22 hornet.accurate as can be but 1 thing is odd,well 2 things.its got a very tight bore.i took it to 2 diffrent gunsmiths and both said no problem.however a decent 22 brush is dam tight to push down the bore.i know early hornets were .223 bore.anyhow if your shooting warm loads its hard on cases and even with light loads its got recoil.by accident i got a box of sierra .223 bullets 45 grain.i loaded them using 12 grains lil gun n wow low report no recoil cases came out ok and accuracy was still right up there.i decided 2 gunsmiths are not on my list to use any more.
now item 2 its a 1 in 12 twist too.i think most hornets are 1 in 14 or 16.
this rifle has a few extras it came out with williams metal sights and laminated wood
