RE: .22 hornet
I'm not that fond of the Hornet myself, if you reload it, the necks of the cases are too fragile, and are easily wrinckled...
Long ago i was hired to clean out some dog packs, i used many different cal's, includeing the 22 Hornet, and 5mm Rem. rimfire. I remember thinking i'd just rather use the 5mm, as out to 125 yards or so, it worked just as good as the Hornet, and i didn't have to reload it!!
I don't hate the round, i'd just rather have a 222 Rem. as they can be loaded down to Hornet V, or on up to be a fairly long range varmit round...
A neat trick i use to do with the Hornet is, take a fired round, put a new primer in it, and take a 22 cal. pellet, turn it upside down, and push it into the neck... WITH NO POWDER. It sure make an "easy to do" cool paper puncher that makes very little noise.
