i have shot the old 45 caliber its a great round i allways liked the round ball load..hunted deer afew times with it...never forget one trip it had been raining all day and finally i got a shot...the old gun would not fire even after 3 caps put on it..needless to say deer didnot stay around to long..got back to truck pulled the nipple out and primed it with dry powder after a couple trys it went off....went to reload the gun but the ramrod had swelled up and would not come out of its holders...borrowed a friends and loaded it up finished up the hunt with a green stick i cut to use to load it again but never got to use the green stick...learnt a good lesson go by a carbon rod so it wont swell up in the rain... that old 22 hornet was a fine old round i still shoot one ocasionally... charlie
