After getting this Hornet barrel for the R93, I finally got a scope mounted, a Vari X II 4-12x40. Nothing fancy, I didn't want to break the bank. Now the good part. I know many of you, as well as myself, have spent countless hours on the range searching for the best load combination, if nothing more than personal satisfaction. But it sure is a good feeling when a plan comes together. Last year I tested a very good load with Lil Gun pushing the 35gr V-max bullets in the Anschutz, and reloaded a couple hundred up. They will also match or often better the RWS Factory load, the load which reloads are judged by
I chambered the loads that I had for the Anschutz and they were no problem in the R93, so since I had to zero a scope on an '06 barrel anyway, I also took the R93 Hornet to run a few of those reloads thru it. This is the first time I've shot the reloads thru the R93 Hornet, and they are smokin good
And, after a measurement and adjustment to COL off the Ogive, I've got some ready for use in my Bockdrilling, just waiting for a fox to make his debut. That should be any day, but fox are kinda funny, sometimes you see them all the time and then you sit for weeks without much action. Time will tell, but I'm getting anxious for that day. Here's what those v-max's post out of an R93, I have finally beat RWS Match, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
The Hornet is my favorite rifle to shoot and practice with. Low cost, low recoil, then just a 1 minute barrel/head swap and off for bear, deer, or fox with the 'same' rifle! Can't beat that with a stick
