Is it obvious that I quite like my new toy

cz in 22 hornet?

The main website for the 22 Hornet (and all of the variants) is saubier.com

yes it is was just hoping we'd have a few 22 hornet n variant fans on here😎

@Danger Mouse 17 Hornet��

17 Hornet looks impressive for sure on gwh's vids
im staying with 22 Hornet or rebarrel to 22 K Hornet next year possibly
17 mach2 put me off cleaning bores any smaller than 22 cal 🤯🤣

I like the look of the anschultz 1771 in 17 hornet

Nice. I'm after one

I have a old Walther 22 Hornet that has been rechambered to the K version. It has had a hard life the blueing is gone and it has a few pits at the chamber end of barrel but still shoots quite well. It cost me 500 rds of handloaded 223 ammo. Have shot a few animals with it , goats being the biggest and rabbits , possums and wallabies making up the smaller animals. Great caliber on the likes of wallabies. Very economical on powder at close to 700 rounds out of a tin. I use the 45 gr Hornady SP mostly but the 40 gr Noslar BT shoots well and is good on rabbits, possums etc. Both shoot to the same point of impact which makes things easier.

nice old rig Mooseman 😎 still trying to get out blood My 22 Hornet 😭

What powder are you using Mooseman ?

I currently use AR 2205, My barrel is only 20 inch and with the 45 gr bullet I get 2700fps. My load is about 1.5 grs under the book max but find that in my rear locking action it is ok, my brass doesn't last that long, not as long as a front locking actioned rifle would.

@Mooseman thats pretty good for a hornet with adi powder
ive got lil gun to try in my 20 inch 22 hornet
might try ar2205 and win 296 at some point as well😎

Just had a Hornet reloading sesh tonight.
Ive had a few .22x36R, 22 hornets and 22 K hornets over the year and tried many loads such as 2205, 2207, H110 (Win 296), and Lilgun which gave good speed with the least pressure but the stand out powder for speed and accuracy for me is Alliant 300MP.

I liked to run the 40gr Vmax in the K hornet bit the BRNO 465s mag limits my OAL so only load the 35gr Vmax abs 45gr SPs in that one now.
















Last but not least a hare shot and with in minutes it was swooped on buy a local well fed hawk

thats some good speed
