22 hornet?

Anyone here have one? Do you like that caliber or dislike? I am curious.

One of my long time favorites, shooting it in a Contender. Right now, I'm trying to find an 1885 Winchester/Miorku Low Wall in 22 Hornet. They did make them for a year. Would make a great addition to our Low Wall collection.

Ole Shakey Jake has one and just posted a target here a day or so ago. I played with it at one time also had the KHornet barrel. Its a fun little caliber but if you reload the thin brass on the necks can be a challenge to reload if one is not careful.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

The Forster bench rest dies make it a whole lot easier. I was given a set of dies but purchased the Forster seating die as it aligns the bullet to the case mouth and you don't have to worry about it. I'd highly recommend getting at least the seating die if reloading the Hornet. I have the micrometer version.

I have one...a BRNO ZKW 465. Wonderful little rifle, and a fun round to shoot!
