Default RE: .22 hornet

Do you shoot the .22 hornet caliber? What rifle do you have that shoots it? And what game do you hunt with it.

Gust got my first .22 hornet. Its a CZ 527 fs. I plan to use it for varmets and small wild hogs. Here it is.
I have an NEF in the hornet. I use it sometimes for deer and hogs, neck shots on deer and head shots on the pigs. Was going to try a body shot this year on a deer but never really got the oportunity and the seasons almost over.
I did take a small pig with it with a body shot. The hollow point came apart and the little pig had multiple exit holes, he did go straight down though.
Took a 180lb porker this year with it, 40 yd head shot and he went straight down. Tried a to shoot some cottontails with it but it blew them to pieces.
