Thread: choosing .22hornet cz 465 OR hw 60j

To much effort for to little gain over the .17 hmr and on the other side of the equation the classic .222 rem outperforms it by a couple of country miles for very little extra cost and it's easier to reload for.
"Want" is plenty of reason to get one though.

My only issue with the Brno is the bolt lift is as you allude to, far too high

Had the weirach. Bloody excellent rifle!

so everyone agrees weihrouch hw 60j a better choice considering pricelist and quality ? no idea why HW60j uses 12grooves but 465 has 8 one ,

1:8 for heavier projectiles. 1:12 for lighter projectiles the normal rule,

Is he referring to barrel twist or the number of grooves in the barrel, I assumed the later as the Brno had a much slower twist than 1:8

i mentioned number of grooves not a twist rate !

Fuck its early on a Sunday ! Sorry! Still like 12

@cissp22 Either way you go ask the owners if they have some typical targets/groups shot. The Hornet can be "fickle".
Where are you?

It's a very nice rifle, very accurate, sighted it 5 rounds in 1/2" square at 100 metres off the bipold, near enough for me, was happy with dollars
