Thread: how little reworking of the brass while reloading is necessary

Hey @Oldbloke you are in the same time zone as my daughter, but here it's after midnight and way too late to start on that very, very long story. Short answer, it's my Uncle Steve's fault. He filled my teenage head full of stories of his culler mates shooting deer with 222 Remington. He also owned a Brno twin trigger 22 Hornet, which I was in awe of. With that Hornet he dispatched the biggest pig ever shot in the region, so the legend goes. The boar was in the urapa and the local maori wouldn't shoot it on tapu ground. He shot it through the ear. It took me almost 50 years to buy a 222, then another year to buy a Hornet. Both are Weihrauch HW60J or CH66J ( new model designation). I've shot a fallow with the 222, but shooting a deer with the 22 Hornet was the goal for this roar. I haven't done that yet, but when I do the circle will be complete, and I'll send photos to my Uncle.
There is another more practical reason for owning a 22 Hornet, (and 222 Remington) but that is another story for another day.
Cheers, Hugh
