Steve,
Thanks for the excellent history.
It was a crying shame, could have been such a great rifle company.
I had lots of folks tell me that I didn't know what I was doing in trying to get my Hornet to shoot. I have been a serious shooter since the late sixties with handloading experience in many different calibers. I never could find the magical load that would consistently shoot under an inch, and I tried a bunch. Since it was left handed, I wanted the rifle to shoot in the worst way.
I ran across another early LH 82 Hornet about six or seven years ago, it looked unfired. The shop owner would not let me shoot it, so I took a pass. I understand the guy that bought it was thrilled with it. Once bitten, twice shy.
Regards,
JB
