    I'm planning on moving to South Island, but based on the replies so far I think the best course of action will be to sell it and get an A category rifle instead. Seems to be more trouble than it's...

    It's a matter of whether they will group? I know that both the 22 hornets favour the vmax, and from now on I will only use boat tail projectiles, much easier to reload.
