Patrick, it seems I read that the newer Hornet rifles are .224 diameter barrels. But for sure the older ones were .223. And after seeing this thread I went looking and it looks to me like Sierra is about the only manufacturer still making .223 diameter Hornet bullets. I remember back in the 60's I was using .223 diameter Speer bullets, but they don't make any .223 diameter bullets any more.
