Doesn't take much more than a look at muzzle velocities to see that there is quite a margin between the hornet and hmr. About 1000 fps, depending on load. Zeroed at 100 yards the hmr will drop about 8" at 200 yards where as the hornet can hit a bit over an inch at 100 and hit zero at 200 yards. The hornet is available in CZ, Ruger, Cooper, to name a few.
You can reload the hornet for way less than you can buy hmr ammo. Very economical to reload for the hornet.
I sold my hmr a few years ago. It just underwhelmed me, once I got the hornet.
