I also have 3 Hornets. One Standard hornet in a Contender one K Hornet in a Contender and a Ruger 77-22H. That Ruger is the most accurate one I have ever had. Had a few M-70s M-43s Savage 340s etc etc. I also like L'il Gun and 40 gr V max bullets. The K Hornet brass lasts longer and gets more velocity but more trouble to load for. Killed a couple coyotes with the Ruger...one at an easy 175 yds and he was DRT. When back east I shot many foxes with the Hornet. I don't shoot foxes here in Wyoming. Tween the Hornet and the 222 Rem I am good to go on most varmints
