Its a great little cartridge and was popular many years ago.Its not in the same realm as the 223 or 22-250,but if one reloads it can be quite a surprizing cartridge. I have killed one wild pig,and one deer with mine. Its not my first choice for hunting bigger game though. Just had a good bullet placement and oppurtunity to do so on both. They are fun,vangunsmith

I have a 77/22 Hornet. It is very accurate. It did take me awhile to sift through the various loads and find one that works well. I finally setttled on a 45 grain Sierra hornet bullet, 13 grains of IMR 4227 and a small pistol primer.
