I stick with the winchester SP now - best i’ve found for knockdown and grouping

How did the Hornady shoot? If it shot well, I’d stick with that. If not, try whatever else you can get to find a brand that your rifle likes.

The hordanny shot ok but the bullet case kept swelling after shooting stopping the bolt from opening

i had that a couple of times and a case split, and the 35 grn bullet gave me more fox runners than enough

Okay, try another brand then!

I’ve been using the Winchester X for a while now to great effect BUT, be aware that quality control is not what it was …

Consider starting to reload your own.

If your talking factory ammo , i am pretty clueless . However all your CZ needs is shorter bullets and from my findings nothing out that i know of in none toxic as its a 1-16 twist
Seirra 40 and 45 grain Hornet are very available, 35 v max are but have a very poor BC and seriously struggle at 200yds Arriving in a longer time that a 45 grain std soft point . Unlike the Ruger etc its a std hornet size action so they wont handle much other than 40 grain shorter bullets ( 40 v max is too long ) unless you push it too far into the case , which gains nothing

How do you know that was the cause if you haven’t tried another brand ?

As Dr. Strangelove has suggested, try another brand or as Kenbro has suggested reload , at least then you'll be in complete control of your ammo quality .

In mine I’ve tried:
Winchester
PPU
Remington
Hornady

None of which produced groups better than 1.5” @ 100yds (some were 2.5”+).

Fine for fox at 100 but limiting on head shooting rabbits.

Home loading is definitely the way to go with the Hornet.
