Year's ago I shot a friends Hornet a lot. We shot cast bullet's and it was a blast but for one problem reloading. Shoulder is sloped and we had trouble getting many reloads without the case splitting. I wouldn't mind having one today but first thing I'd do is convert it to a K Hornet. Better yet, I had a 222 Rem years ago and would take it any day over a Hornet. You can do pretty much everything you do with the Hornet and for accuracy, my 222 Rem blew away the friend's Hornet. Great thing about both of them is you can shoot and watch the bullet hit through the scope even with jacketed bullet's.
