curious as to your thoughts why Sellier & Bellot would only offer 22 Hornet ammo in FMJ??? they used to offer a soft point, but according to Midway, they have discontinued it
since I have multiple guns in this caliber, I've been trying to use Czech brass for my CZ rifles... ( I know a little OC ) I've been buying factory ammo in quantity then shooting 100 or so, & using those for reloading... trying to figure out the reasoning behind using FMJ bullets in the Hornet... only real logical reason I can find for continuing with FMJ & discontinuing the soft points, might be that they feel for edible small game, the Hornet has enough velocity to kill most small game, & the FMJ bullet will damage less meat than a soft or hollow point...
thoughts... or anyone "in the know"
