22 Hornet is a neat round, but I have never seen the need to own one. I have never seen a niche for it. If 22 Magnum isnt enough, I move up to 223.
See to me, I see a big gap between the 22 Mag and the 223. The Hornet is not a speed king, but it will accomplish anything within 200 yards than a 223 will without the muzzle blast, hearing damage, and with a lot less powder.
But I get that most people don't need see a need because they already have a 223, usually in an AR platform. So for the guy looking to keep his caliber list from expanding, the 223 makes more sense. But for those of us that like to have a big caliber variety, there is a niche than the 22 Hornet can still fill.
