Shot 25 rounds this morning. Hopefully the target will post. Sometimes does from my phone other times not. I guess I'll have to post when I get home.

Good shooting. Never shot a .22 hornet, is it like a magnum?

I'd say yes. It has a bit more recoil than my Marlin 783 WMR but not much. It's a fun little rifle to shoot for sure and not so expensive to reload.

Nice work, Jake. black in my silhouette days, the 22 Hornet was sometimes called the reloadable 22 mag, though the Hornet is a touch hotter. One of the most accurate rounds, ever, in a Contender pistol.

I read years ago that 2400 powder was developed for the 22 Hornet at least to begin with. I should think that anyone with more than a passing interest in guns get a copy of Cartridges Of The World. I bought my first one in 1969 and wore it out so I replaced it with another copy in 2000.It is my go to reference for information about not just ammo but gun powder history and development.
