.22 Hornet
I have always liked this little round. I have killed coyotes and fox with it and it performed very well. I have never used it to hunt deer. But my uncle does and has never had any problem dropping big maine bucks with a well placed shot.
What do you guys think about this round?

I use a K-Hornet, in a BSA Martini. It's a tack driving round that has yet to let me down. I use oit mainly for ground hgs, fox and beaver, but I would feel comfortable useing it on deer if I didn't have the 308 Win..

killed quite a few bruisers with the hornet, including a 200lb 11 pointer, theres no replacement for bullet placement.

A .22 hornet was and is a sharp shooting rifle! As stated a well placed shot and it will knock down almost anything it hits. They shoot quite flat and carries quite a ways.. The sad part is now every one you look at it appears to have just the scope mount and not so much of ths sites I enjoy using from time to time.
