Hornets have a lot of charisma, but can be very finicky, often are very hard to get to group well.

One of the must have rifle calibers for me is .22 Magnum. It is a giant slayer. Kills way beyond how it should. I've had a Ruger 77/22M since CHRISTmas Day 1991. Groups well under an inch at 125 yds, with a little Burris compact 4X scope. It just loves the little Remington 33 gr. ballistic tip rounds.

Another I enjoy is .45-70, with handloads. Ruger No. 1, with 300 gr. FNHPs at 2100 fps. Topped with a Leupold M8-3X.

I also enjoy a .220 Swift with 52 gr. handloads. Crows never hear what killed them.
