Re: I haven’t seen a box of .22 Hornet ammo on the shelves in years
Many of the old great cartridges aren't found on shelves today. Gun stores seem to only carry a variety of either the most popular ammo, or the latest whiz bang do it all ammo. I don't own a .22 Hornet either, but I do own it's grandpa the .22WCF and I buy Hornet brass to load down to .22WCF specs ...

Re: I haven’t seen a box of .22 Hornet ammo on the shelves in years
I have one Hornet, two 218 Bee's and a 25-20. I've shot factory, hand loads, cast and jacketed in all of them. I wish all of the -20 gun owners would start hounding the likes of Marlin, Henry, Browning to start making 218,25-20, 32-20 guns again. That would lead to ammo/brass being made again for u...

John, under Biden, the USA was trying to go down the same path. Fortunately with the election of Trump we may halt that for a bit, but I fear that anything Trump does well will simply be undone by the next leftist Democrat (but I repeat myself) to be elected.
