Thread: Cheaper to run my 223....

To me , even thou I know its not exactly same/same , ie reload cnterfire price & loaded rimfire price , it does not take much time to load up a few centerfire rounds , the performance difference between any of your rimfire magnums & your smallest centerfire calibres is huge , as such and because I reload already , for me the magnum rimfires did not make much sense for my uses.
My 22 Hornet is very cheap to run , uses 13 grs of Lilgun per shot , thats 534 rds out of a pound of powder , use CCI pistol primers , 40gr vmax , with a 20 inches barrel & a MAE suppressor , it does 3000fps , the only downside at the moment is the CZ537 rifle is a single shot deal with this bullet as its much longer than the more normal 35gr flat base vmax bullet .

I went with the hornet as I feel its the quitest of the small CF s , and shoot around a busy farm , But looking back , I think the difference between say a 22 Hornet & a 222/223 would be very small , and as such , the best option would be a 222 or 223 , a bit more accuracy & a lot more power over the Hornet .
