.22 Hornet is a staple in my family for years. Usually bought as factory ammo most becomes a .22 k hornet after firing in our 3 K hornets. I have an Anschutz Exemplar pistol and a couple CZ made Springfield M6 s which are not reamed to K Hornet, the rest are . Lil Gun really kicks up the Hornet a notch if needed. With 40 grain bullet s in a K Hornet rifle 3100 fps is achieved with a few powders . Best accuracy in the Exemplar pistol is a 45 grain HP at 2500 fps from the 10" barrel with 2400 powder from the standard case. It shoots 3/4" at 100 yards off bags with a 10 x Burris . The Martini K Hornet with a 15x Lyman Super Targetspot is sighted in at 200 yards and has done sub 1.5" groups at that range . It is deadly on ground squirrels to 250 yards or so.
