Over the years i have ownedmany .22 Hornets.One of the best ones is a BSA Martini with a 26 inchbarrel.That gun will make dime sized groups at 100 yards with just about any 45 grain bullet. My Encore .22 Hornet is a work in progress-load development is not complete. The .22 barrel of my Savage O/U will make one inch groups on a good day.

i use 45 grain bullets almost exclusively. Also use IMR 4227 and Alliant 2400 powders. Like zrexpilot, i have killed hogs with my .22 Hornets. Just put the bullet between the ear and the eye or in the ear.
