SA M6 Hornet bullet

[larryw]

Looking at reloading for the 22 Hornet to be used in a new, CZ manuf SA M6 (22H/410 survival rifle).

Do the new M6 22 Hornet guns use .223 or .224 bullets? OK to use the same 40gr V-Max bullets I use for 223 Rem?

Any favorite recipies for 22 Hornet?

All modern Hornets

are bored for .224. Some of the older ones are bored for .223.

I don't have a Hornet, only a K-Hornet, a wildcat Hornet with the shoulder moved forward and a sharp angle so it looks more like a .308 where the Hornet looks like a .30-.30. Khornet uses something like 10-12 gr of Alliant 2400 or IMR 4227, and Hornet will be a little less.

I'm currently experimenting with my M6 .22hornet (.224bore) with 70 grain speer semi spitzers. These are shorter than the new .223 fast twist bullets. IF I can get them to stabilize in the M6 and get above 2000ps , I'll have an emergency deer class load.
