If you get the Bator mold, and you cast some bullets in the 10-12bhn range and size them to fit your throat, load 6 grains 2400 under them in the Hornet. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face. 1600fps, give or take depending on your barrel. A little more snot to it than a .22WMR, but not a lot. It's my go-to cast load for hunting with the Hornet, put many a squirrel in the pot with it - but frankly never exercised it on edibles past 75 yards or maybe a bit more. For 150 yard work you're on your own! 6 grains Li'l Gun will give you close to the same results, but in my guns the 2400 load shoots a skinch better. (Funny, because with full throttle jacketed loads L'il Gun beats 2400 on all counts, in my guns.)
Yeah, I'd like to see pics of y'all's Springfield .22-250. I'm a Springfield slut too. Hell, I'm a gun slut period!
