I can't find any open threads on this subject, so will start a new one to ask my questions. I've read multiple posts on this other forums where a fair number of folks swear by the Hornady V-MAX bullets in the 22 Hornet and 218 Bee. Some have liked the Sierra Blitz King, but I haven't seen any reference to the Berger 40 gr. varmint bullet. Does anyone have any experience with the Berger bullets in these cartridges? Reviews on merchant sites rate the Berger bullet as producing better group sizes than they got with the Hornady's.
Also, some have mentioned that in the Winchester Model 43 in the 218 Bee (which I have) that the 40 gr. Hornady made the cartridge too long to feed through the magazine. However, none have mentioned whether they were shooting the boat tail or flat base version. Can anyone who has a Model 43 comment on this?
