These are a fun little popper. They are great for areas where you are shootig around barns, graineries, etc. Thanks to their limited range. They are also not nearly as loud as a .223 or similar rifle. The two biggest draw backs are the cost of rifles. Nearly all Hornets are chambered in fairly expensive rifles. The Ruger 77/22 Hornet, the CZ series, etc. The exceptions are single shots like the N.E.F, and the new Savage model 40. Who likes these little guys?
