I acquired a 22 Hornet the other day, its a single shot Savage with the "accu-trigger" the trigger is not nearly as good as Savage claims in my opinion but its better then some to be sure.
Anyways, who here has or has owned a 22 Hornet, thoughts?
I've never owned one. I know from reading several magazine articles and reloading manuals that the Hornet is finicky. Once a load is worked out they can be a pretty good short range varmint gun.
They can be reamed out to a 22 K-Hornet. That's a blown out case with a sharp shoulder. From what I understand the K-Hornet is easier on cases and easier to finds loads for.
Ros Seyfried did a two part write up on the 22 Hornet in Rifle Magazine #193 and Handloader #209 (2/2001). I braved the archives, otherwise known as the deep dark recesses of my garage, and dug them up.
I scanned them into a Word Document. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you both articles.
