So am thinking a hornet should be good out to 350 or so.
Whatever I get, order of importance to me is 1. Low enough recoil to spot shots. 2. Low noise. 3 flat shooting. Seems tome that tge hornet will fit the bill. Just want I g to make sure I am not overlooking something here. My brother has a 204 ruger,and that noise level is a bit too sharp for my liking.
The Hornet won't get you much at 350 yards...but for your other criteria it should be ideal.
