    Bill don't knock it, I have a Hornet it's in the Browning Micro. to , Only have one problem with it, would like an other clip, The last time I found one it was a lot to high . Wish the clip would hold a couple more rounds. Also have a 222 Rem. too. If you want to have fun shooting , load up some cast bullets, the and it is cheap. Only other problem I have had with the 22 H is I have a lot of neck splits on the first time fireing could just be like every thing I have it is old. Just my 10 cents jj

    Understood. Sometimes there is just something about a certain gun.
    There are guys at my club that shoot them little 224's at my club for the silhouette matches.The Donaldson Wask,K-Hornet,Bee,222Rem,etc.
    Them little guys will really pop a steel target at the 100yd line.--- SAWMAN
    I believe they manage to stay inside of the vel fps limit at PRPC silhouette matches. Noise and velocity are the sweet point for those loadings.
    I have always wanted a 25-20, but not enough to actually seek one out or get one built. Just do not have a strong enough need or desire to go the trouble to get one. Same goes for a 32-20 rifle.

    These smaller rounds are good for animals under 50 lbs.

    32-20 is in my opinion a premier turkey rifle round. I have a savage 23c that is my go to rifle for turkeys.

    Likely if you use the older fashion 32-20 pistols and not the highspeed 80 grain '92 win rifle loads it will not destroy a lot of meat on a turkey.

    Yea, I read that post about dying and leaving the burden on your loved ones, and I got a mess. Come get a box Sawman.

    Correct, the standard ammo not the high speed.

    That is waaaaay too cheap for that ammo. --- SAWMAN
    That was my thought but with the banning thing and prices I was not going to say anything.

    Don't worry about me turning you in Sawman, I would not even consider that sort of behavior, unless there was some sort of incentive or reward.....like 35-50 cents or such.
