The only bullet i use for my hornet - Sierra Bullets Varminter Hornet 45 gr. .22 Cal LRN Rifle Bullets, 100 Count

I have been shooting the .22 Hornet for 47 years, since I got my old Savage 340C as payment for digging a drain-field when I was 18. Since then I have owned many different .22 Hornet rifles. The only bullets I have ever used have been the 45 and 40 grain Sierras. Don't let the appearance deceive you. They don't look high tech or fancy but their thin jackets and soft nose yield explosive results on varmints from Sage Rats all the way up to Coyotes. Yet they are still legal to humanely take deer with head and neck shots (in expert hands!)
