Me too. And another 43 in .218 Bee.

Hornet bridges 22 mag to .218 Bee, then we bridge with a .222 Rem on the way to.223. If your using 100 FPS bridges.

I have a pre 64 Winchester model 70 22 hornet. it does good on groundhogs and fox

My dad has one I shot my fislrst deer with it and he's recently been talking about selling it. I looked at him and told him I'd buy it from him first. Absolutely love that gun took an armadillo head off just a week ago. It's a Ruger 77 22 hornet

I just don’t know if it’d be worth it as my calling gun now is an h&r bull barrel 204

There’s nothing that hornet will do that your 204 won’t.

Some of our groundhogs get pretty fat on clover and alfalfa and can soak up a 22lr and get away if not hit well. I was using a 22/250 with great results but had an issue. On smaller hayfields of say 5 acres, the crack of the 22/250 would send all other 'hogs into the burrow and that was it for the day. looked around for something more powerful than 22lr but without the harsh blast of the hotrod .22 calibers. Hit upon a 22 hornet single shot at a gun gunshop and it turned out great. Anchors all the groundhogs and in the smaller fields just sitting a bit and waiting the others will usually come back out.
