Default RE: Whats wrong with the 22hornet

Thanks guys. Did any of you all read Guns and Ammo article on the 22 hornet for Jan I believe. It explains some of the weakness's of the 22hornet. It goes on saying its "inheriently inaccurate" due to too much taper, not much of a shoulder, and low case life.

Now, I am a see it believe it type guy. I strickly read mags for entertainment value. I am looking for a 22 round that I can reload, going about 2600fps for a 40 gr bullet. That doesn't wake up every neighbor in a 1 mile radius, with recoil like a 22LR. And the hornet seems to fit the bill. But I might look into the "K" hornet. Anybody have any ideas of this round. I like the 35 degree shoulder compared to the 5degree on the hornet.
