Just wondered who all had/used a .22 Hornet and for what purpose? We've got several of the Handi-Rifles in .22 Hornet. Gramps had one he really liked but until I found some Handi Rifle barrels on clearence when a local "mart" store closed I never gave the round much thought. When we're wanting a little more thump calling and dont want the report of the .223's we use the Hornet rifles. Little heavy for coons but headshots arent too bad. For fox or coon either one you want broadside shots only. Head on or quartering away makes a mess of the hide. Several times I didnt listen to that little voice and spent an hour sewing up a red. The .17 rimfire are really catching on but around here .22 Hornet and .17 rimfire ammo runs about the same with the Hornet ammo being a few dollars higher depending on sales etc. .22 Hornet $14-$18 box/50, .17rimfire around $12-$14 box/ 50.
