    Have been shooting reloads with 45gr hornady hornet projectiles but just changed to factory 35gr hornady ammo and they shoot very well in this rifle. If it wasn't an original '49 I'd put a suppressor on it or maybe rebarrel to .17 as it's pretty noisy as it is

    The 17 is really noisy, the DPT fixed that, it's quieter than the HMR with the Gunworks! Do you need any brass?
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Hi DS yep I'm looking for another one, really awesome scope for the money and better than the 44, I'll swap these two as the Hornet needs it more than the HMR.

    That's a nice setup and great calibre, been tempted myself, but I own the 17 now and am not disappointed

    Bugger all really, the MAE does a good job, no recoil very accurate and plenty of punch...
