K-Hornet in a model 25

[Flyndutchman]

My 25 hornet is still in the black plastic factory stock. It seems to shoot well out of this stock and I want to keep it lighter than my other rifles for packing around. No mods to the stock, but the chamber is still standard hornet. If it continues to print the groups I got at the last range session with H110, I'll leave it alone. 3100 fps with 40gr bullets is more than I ever hoped for with the Hornet. I didn't buy it to be a screamer, just a fun, low recoil, and low noise gun. The bolt lift is improving. I discovered the locking lugs really like a lot of grease.

I have the synthetic stock and I have not done anything to it. I did a little work on the magazine so that it would take poly tip bullets. I took it apart and then took a small triangle file and add a groove on the inside of the mag. so that I can load poly tipped bullets, it works great. I also added a tactical bolt knob and then polished the lugs and bolt to make it a little smoother. It shoots awesome, even when I am fire forming brass.

Had a short,successful range session today. I'm not going to change things. H110, 34 gr HP, PPU brass, Small Pistol primers, Lee factory crimp die, bullets seated to feed out of the magazine. 0.610" five shot group with four of them in a 0.191" cluster. No wind flags out and there were some subtle things happening. The one shot just had to open the group up. The small rifle primer group was 1.5" with the same components. Have been getting consistently better performance with the small pistol primers in the hornet.
