    I am using them and find them very explosive on the fox. Shot two on Friday at around 120 yrds fair size exit wound.

    For information purposes only, someone might find it useful

    see below from different post: (this is personal preference not saying its the best way)

    if using 35grn Honady v max bulletts in 22 hornet the following approximate ballistics apply:

    3 inches high at 100 yrds spot on at 200 yrds and 3 inches low at 225 yrds

    zero at 100 yrds gives a drop of 1.6 inches at 150 yrds and 6 inches at 200 yrds.

    My set up at present with the Hornet 2 inches high at 100 yrds gives 2 inches low at 200 yrds.

    Have just bought a 2nd hand CZ 527 in .22 hornet. Had one a few years ago but Hornady weren't available then. Used use 45 GR Remmy hollow points and couldn't fault them tbh. Now have some Hornady ..2 Hornet ammo and I love their ammo as I've used it in other calibres and was just wondering if it would be any good on Charles before I go to bother of zeroing them on. Thanks for ballistic info. Never tend to trust info on boxes. Will go for the 2" high at 100 yards I reckon
