The original hornets were made with .223 diameter bullets but modern ones were changed to .224 so that people could use the common 22 caliber centerfire bullets.

Some bullet makers, such as Sierra, still make .223 bullets for use in the old Hornet barrels. Ray Arizona Mountains | |||

I still have a box of 45-grain Sierra bullets that are marked for the Hornet, and the box says .223"... | |||
