22 hornet

[upperlane2 4]

Cheers lads im looking into getting one but cant find a left handed one

cheers again Walshy

would you not consider th .204 a bit more rangey and accurate on foxey with a lighter bullet 32g vmax

statistics like 200yds dead centre 300yds 41/2" drop

[mattydski 560]

The 204 is a better cartridge, for sure. But its also more expensive too shoot.

I can have whatever I need on my ticket, but I chose Hornet because of its simplicity and cheapness to shoot. I went through the same decision making process, but it kept coming back to being able to afford to shoot it. I must of popped off 20-30 rounds yesterday, between bunnines and a zero check.... I am not feeling in the slightest bit guilty about the cost

 

25p a bang is hard to beat. If I need ought bigger I use my .243..

 

Its just so much fun to shoot!

ive got a 243 myself and my mate shoots a 204 i thought about the hornet before i got a 17hmr but it wasnt big enogh for me theres more good than bad pionts for the hornet so im guna put in for a variation.

[mattydski 560]

Trust me, you will not regret it!!

privvy bullet very good 45gr s/p - also vit 110 9gr with same bullet very good.

[mattydski 560]

ive just got a cz brno 22hornet so still getting the feel of it , by the way i will be useing factory loads in it can any one recommend a good factory load for it

 

If you can reload, try and do so. The accuracy is just so much better.

Cost can not be compared either.

 

Hornady 35gr vmax factory are ok'ish! but £21 for 25 rounds??? I'd rather chew tinfoil!!

hi just wondering who shoots a 22 hornet ive been thinking of geting one just wanted to know the pros and cons of them ie; bullet price and availability and are do they come left handed? any info would be great

Walshy

OK

I'm a 'lefty' to, I have two left hand bolts and a Ruger number 1, I think you will struggle to find a LH bolt action Hornet, but in .223 will be easy, as Remington Ruger and Browning all

make LH bolt variants in most of their models and all make .223.

Have a look at the Ruger No 1 if your not familiar, single shot with a martini type under lever, mine's a 22.250 varmint, excellent all round, and I think it's still made or

at least used to be made in Hornet? The Hornet is quite a mild round so a second hand one should be perfectly fine.
