Pat, FP began as straightwall cases of 1.29 or 1.30''. Along the way we allowed the 32-20 which is not a true straightwall but close enough to it. Along came the .22 Hornet, again not a straightwall. However, not the K-Hornet. We allowed the 270 REN and later the 25-20. Many of us adopted the standa...

Forest, my guess is that most of us reload and it isnt much of a step to shoot and reload the Hornet. For those who dont care to reload it may be a good choice. (Predicated on the ability to obtain components for the Hornet). Then, you could just shoot 22LR and accept the losses on Rams. If you can ...
