I usually shoot the Rem. 46 gr. hp over 11 gr. of 4227. Kills gophers very nicely. I also have the Horn. 35 gr. probably with the same load.. I like them both. My principal use for the Hornet now days is shooting gophers, p. dogs, and various pests at fairly close range.
For a few summers I shot groundhogs with the Hornet, .222 and .22-250. Depended on the size of the field which rifle I picked up.
