Thanks for all the feedback. My primary use for this will be woodchucks as the weather warms up. I'll be hunting the edges of farm fields and some of these critters burrow under the barns and are pretty close to houses and livestock. These conditions I feel are better suited to the Hornet versus the 22/250 or some of the other typical centerfire varmint cartridges that live in the safe.
I'll be going west for prairie dogs this summer and thought the Hornet would be a good 200 yard rig.
