I am down to two Hornets currently, a H&R Handy Gun II, which is more accurate than it should be; and a TC Contender. Some day I might find a nice Low Wall Winchester or even a CZ Manlicher style bolt gun to replace the Ruger 77/22 Hornet I traded off. I never could get it to shoot like it should.
In my opinion the Hornet is like a 28 Gauge, in that it is more effective than it should be.

Had the same experience with a Ruger 77/22 in Hornet; no matter what I hand-rolled and fed it the thing never would shoot like it ought to. I have an H&R Handy Rifle in .22 Hornet now that drives tacks and isn't terribly picky.
Agree, too, about Lil Gun and 2400, and sticking to less than 50 grain bullets. Very fun round to play with.
