.22 Hornet Ammo

[NAVY CHIEF]

EDITED!!!

Anyone know where in Austin or San Antone or best price online we can pick up .22 Hornet ammo? I have a Springfield M6 that my father gave me and have never used it. Will be cleaning it this week or weekend and seeing what it can do (if I can afford the ammo) saving for my Glock!

(Edit is here> Has anyone reloaded .22 hornet ammo? How difficult and expensive is it? is it cheaper to buy "ready made ammo" or reload? (I found bullets for reloading and regular and bulk ammo at Cabela's online. The bulk is 150.00 for 200 rounds. The bullets (still looking for the casings though). And am I to look for .22 hornet casings or something else? (I am having a dickens of a time finding .22 hornet casings online - unless I am doing an incorrect search).

Hooyah!

Knocked and Loaded in Lampasas carries the .22 Hornet. Saw it yesterday, it runs $47.99 per box of 50. Not necessarily "plinkin'" ammo, is it?

Save your brass you should be able to reload for half or less.

Midway has Remington Hornet brass 100 for $25 Bullets are 100 for $15 or more depending on the brand. You still have to add powder and primers.

The only caution I can offer is that Hornet brass is more fragile, as in more easily deformed, than most other calibers.

Use care and you will be fine.

I had a Ruger 1 in .22 Hornet and it would not shoot well so I dumped it. Still have brass, ammo and dies for free if you want it in Dallas area.

I have a brother that lives in Irving, past the "old" Cowboys' stadium, how far are you from there?

[fannypacker]

Navy chief, I live in Plano and would like to pass to him. 1 full box of Winchester 45 gr SP, 2 reloaded boxes and some brass and dies. All free to a fellow shooter.

[fannypacker]

Have him call me at 469-633-9349.

Found some bullets too. It's a steal at free but no call.

[NAVY CHIEF]

I will call you in 5. Unless you are watching the Cowboys game and don't want to be bothered.?

Old timer here and ready to help. Call anytime. Boys are losing and no surprise with Jerry as coach.

The older Hornets use a .223 diamater bullet. Mine is a 219 savage and for some reson this one and a friends Savage Sporter are not accurate with the newer .224 diamater bullets. They shoot large groups. So when I found that out that changed everything. Very accurate.
