22 Hornet for Deer
I never said those things. I never said you think it’s a do it all rifle. I agree that it can be a great youth round within strict parameters. I have not chose the 22 Hornet. I’ve gone 6.5 cm, 308 and the like. It gives more cushion, and is still highly shootable. -
22 Hornet for Deer
Nope, my brother hunts the marsh with a 30-30. It has limited range, but great out to 200 in the right situation. -
22 Hornet for Deer
It’s called trial and error. It would make for a hell of a controlled experiment! -
22 Hornet for Deer
Tell me more. What do I think? I should ask more. Where do you hunt? I primarily hunt Central Washington scablands, Central Montana sage brush steppe and South West Montana sun alpine. Last years bucks were at 42 yards off hand in cliff bands and 264 prone sneaking through ponderosa mixed... -
22 Hornet for Deer
I love quality bullets. I’m a Hammer guy. V-max for deer? What does V stand for? I love them in my 17! -

22 Hornet for Deer
I will read. Misplaced neck shot and quartering away high shoulder and they dropped. It sounds like disturbance to the central nervous system (spine). Were they dead, or paralyzed? What happened post first shot? -
22 Hornet for Deer
Can I see that front quarter? No offense, but as you know shooting a tiny doe with an explosive round is different than a quartering away or toward uphill shot on a mature buck at 200 yards. -
22 Hornet for Deer
Nice. I would feel that it’s limiting me. Quartering shots? Quartering uphill? I just see so little room for less than perfection. -
22 Hornet for Deer
I need to read up on this. I have so many questions. At what range? In what situation? What size deer? A 338 with a fmj has all the numerical measurements? When? My favorite reload in 338 is a 210 grain Barnes at over 3100 fps. I love the 22 hornet. When can it do that? Tell me more. I never... -

22 Hornet for Deer
Would you shoot a 300 pound whitetail with a 22 hornet at 200 yards? It’s marginal at best. Wind? Setting? -
22 Hornet for Deer
You lost all validity with “grandpa data.” Well, when I was a kid we killed dem Deere with BB guns. We’d shoot ‘em in der eyeballs and follow the ocular nerve to the prefrontal cortex! -
22 Hornet for Deer
Kinetic energy doesn’t matter? It’s part of a long formula. So many variables. I’m not saying it won’t kill. It decreases your range. It decreases your kill zone. If you want to shoot deer with a tiny bullet going relatively slow it is your choice. Compare the stats of it to just the 22-250... -
22 Hornet for Deer
Why did I say circumference…? Sheesh, I’m a math teacher. Diameter. It doesn’t have any advantages. It’s not high velocity like a 22-250. -
22 Hornet for Deer
Cross sectional circumference, cross sectional density, momentum, and kinetic energy numbers are too low. It’s a tiny bullet for the application, flying relatively slow with little energy. It doesn’t even fly very flat. I love the cartridge for gophers and such. I have used it. It’s an okay... -

Awesome rifle! I would buy it if I didn’t already have one…- Hammsolo

22 Hornet for Deer
No, no 22 hornet grain of any sort for deer. Why are we swinging so far? It used to be mega-magnums and now we are falling into mini-non-magnums. Why? Recoil? Challenge? Contrarian behavior? Meat waste? Why would we decrease range and effective kill zone SO much? -

I finally got the springbok out in the field. The highlights are that it’s super light, and so quick to adjust by moving the legs. I hear the complaint about shooting prone, but if you move the legs forward rather than perpendicular to the rifle it doesn’t go flat to the ground. I didn’t get any...- Hammsolo
