Actually, the WW 46 grain HP is the same bullet loaded in the 220 Swift factory ammo. I shoot them in my .222 as a more controlled expansion HP than the Speer 52 grainers. I have good luck with the 45 grain Speer and Sierra spitzers myself. Just make sure you order the .224 diameter and not the .223 for the Hornet. RP makes a 45 grain pill that works well, but accuracy can be iffy at warp 3.8 in the 22-250. Use H380 and IMR 4320 and you'll be a happy shooter.
