anybody shooting a .22 hornet? I have a ruger 77/.22 hornet that shoots like a dream. I need to start reloading as the hornet is expensive to shoot. So far the biggest animal I’ve harvested was a pretty good sized hog,one shot. The old calibers are the best.
A Savage 24v in 22 Hornet over 20 gauge I've taken a lot of deer with it a few Hogs a lot of coyote Fu Gators and a bunch of turkeys if the turkeys don't come in for the shotgun you can reach out and touch him with a hornet
gud stuff however price plus availability aint gud Hornady goes for $1.00 per round the cheapest brand is right around $0.70 per round from a gud supplier that we looked at
Ya gotta reload! The little Hornet was never as popular as it should have been! SAD!!! Midway has it for .48 cents a round right now! It's Privi Partisan, actually pretty good stuff!
.48 a round is ok,I’m going to order 500 tomorrow while my wife is gone. I’m getting good at getting things I want without her knowing,I think.
oldman11 I wish you lived closer, We could get together and load up a few rounds for that Hornet. As the crow fly's, How many miles are we from lets say Toledo Bend,100, 150 ?
I have a Krag-Hornet that was built on what was likely a .22 WRF barrel. It had the threaded stub of a Krag barrel grafted onto it and had the early .22 Hornet with .223 groove diameter. I re-barreled it using the original contour with a .224" bore. I sealed the bottom of the receiver with JB weld, and I'm still working on sights and an extractor that'll reach the tiny Hornet rim. It's fun to shoot, and I found a Lee mold for .224 bullets. I haven't worked much with them, but it likes 40 grain Hornady green tip "zombie" bullets. I also had fun with .22 pellets and magnum pistol primers. No powder. I think the .22 Hornet is a hoot.
