jbhewittI have used calhoun bullets in about everything I shoot 224 wise but the hornet is not one that I own. They should work great for you, you can call Calhoun bullets and talk with Jim if you do so in the afternoon, he will answer any concerns you might have.

Joe YoungBeing the consrevative that I am, I use My win 70 k hornet for what it is. It will never be competitive in prescicion shooting, but excells in what Lyle Kilborne had in mind. It is a damgood varmint rifle at 100 yds or less. I have found that the more economical Nosler and Sierra bullets in the 40 to 45 grain range, pushed out at 3000 FPS meet the expectations of the original cartridge design. The rifle is a joy, and a favorite of mine for the past 40-45 yrs. If it was any better, I couldn't stand it. Remember please, pass up the long shots on varmints with the "K"!
Good shootin' joe
