20 Ackley Hornet. Adam

I shoot the smaller version, the 20Mink it's one hell of a cartridge. 10.6gr of Enforcer will push a 32gr bullet 3200fps from a 20" barrel. Adam

Why?

As long as we're talking 22 Hornet and her derivatives - is the K Hornet a 250 yard Coyote rifle?

Well for starters, I have seen and fondled some of his goodies, it's just going to cost you money and greif. You'll have to buy a larger safe and then the wife (if she's still hanging in there by that time) will wonder why you need fourty small caliber rifles, trust me not a row you want to hoe. Adam

Mntngoat has some really, really nice rifles. Sub calibers are super addictive. It is amzing how lethal a tiny bullet with a few grains of powder piles critters up and stack bullets on top of each other on paper. All you need is a Bullberry double end form die and a reamer. IIRC JLC precision will covert a Redding die to bushing for about 60bucks. Lee die might work also.

Seafire all you need is a 204 take off or a greenmountain. You are not gonna break the bank with this one.

Calho0n has a similar 19 caliber round called the 19 Calhoon.

That 22 Mink looks like it might scratch an itch I got. Can you tell me more about it?

When I wanted a 20 VarTarg, I bought an XR100 in 204 and shortened the chamber by 16.5mm and a simple rechamber got me the VarTarg. My forever rabbit rifle. 35gn Berger at 3735fps over 19.2gn 4198 and-or 34gn Nosler over 9gn Blue Dot for 2700fps and ideal for most of the shots presented in the area I hunt now.
