| Yes,I still hunt varmints with a .22 Hornet.Rimfires arent in the hornet class.The hornet will build over 700ft lbs and with 35gr bullets will do 3100fps.I have made aproximately 50 kills on coyote in two years 150yds and under,lots of groundhogs out to 250yds and a zillion gophers 150yds and under.Using 40gr Hornady vmax it will shoot dime size 5 shot groups at 100yds.The reason I started using it is it is quiet in populated areas and will get the job done at 200yds+. sam. |
