I've got a question, and I don't mean to throw shade on the 22 Hornet. I just don't know the answer, and I'd like to ask people that obviously enjoy the chambering.
Why would I want a 22 Hornet? I reload. I have several rifles already chambered in 223 Remington. If I never bought a 22 Hornet, what would I be missing?
It’s a neat little round! Very cheap to reload for ... a can of powder goes a long way with the Hornet. No fur damage. In fact, it can be hard to tell where the hit was a lot of times. Not as loud as other chamberings so it’s more enjoyable to shoot for me. Mine is accurate so to me it’s like shooting a hopped up 22 that I get more distance out of. It’s been the perfect farm ranch chambering for me over the years. Great for critters that are a nuisance or become a problem around the home and outbuildings. Not saying other chamberings can’t be used in the same situation but the Hornet just fits the bill perfectly to me! I’d give up a lot before my Hornet. Lol
