Looking for some good cast loads for the Hornet in 44&55 grain bullets. I have not had much luck without gas checks so maybe some loads in the 1400fps range W/O
checks and some loads in the 2000-2400fps range with checks. I have had a little luck with 6.5g of 2400 and a 44g hard cast with checks[2050fps]. Groups OK but have need for improvement.... I have never did a lot of cast shooting in rifle but have 45 yrs of using cast in handguns & due to slower speeds no problems[never used a gas check till lately] .
