K Hornet

[stacy]

Well, I might as well chime in.....Mine is a single shot Savage Model 40. Also rechambered from 22 Hornet to K Hornet. I really love this rifle. Limited to a single shot, but who needs more than one shot, right? lol. Anyway, I have shot coon with mine, but not a coyote yet. But wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. I shoot the 40 gr. vmax in my loads. Good groups, and just fun to shoot.

I have its twin love my Savage Model 40 K-Hornet I also have one in Hornet they like 40gr V-Max also

Hang on to it Stacy. I can't ever recall seeing another one since I bought mine years ago. You and I might be the only people we "know" who has one! hehe

I do not hunt but for some reason I'm kind of a Hornet nut. I'd like to add a K one day.

I have two, wish one was a K. Speaking of Hornets, what happened to "the ones that don't shoot" (the 77/22 Hornet). I rarely see them for sale.

My Hornet appreciation is a semi-recent enlightenment. I'm also a Ruger fan. So that's on my short list of I wish.

I saw one in a wood stock not laminated stock like ours and as soon as I saw it it was sold before I could type my message

Make that three on here who have/have had one. Wish I’d never sold mine (also thought I “needed” a magazine.) Went through several other .22 Hornets before finding one (CZ) that shoots as well as that old Model 40, and now if given the choice between having a magazine or a 2-inch longer and heavier barrel, I’d choose the latter.
IME, Speer 45-grain PSP bullets seem to be the best combination of accuracy and lethality in a .22 Hornet.

Add to that short list the old discontinued (oh WHY?) Nosler 45gr Hornet Flat Base bullet. Every Hornet I've had (four) has shot them very, very well. Like in the 1/4" range like the naysayers say a Hornet or K-Hornet cannot do as shown in Post #16 here.

What a neat, little and accurate fun caliber!

Make that 4 of us. Mine isn't a "k" but is in the laminate stock. Haven't shot it in years but it still resides in the back of the safe.
