[QUOTE="milkie62, post: 944232, member: 74274"] The ticket for the 22 Hornet for me is the non-noise factor.I hunt alot of small fields for woodchucks.At times a 22LR will be sucked up by a fat chuck if a non-lethal body shot happens.I want to anchor him on the spot if the grass starts to get a little high.A 243 will do it nicely but will also scare another other varmints away whereas the 22 hornet does not have as loud a report and will anchor them on spot with a nice HP bullet. I remember John Wooters once wrote in Outdoor Life magazine years ago.He was a 308 lover and I am also.He said that a 30/06 holds 10 percent more powder than a 308 but it is not 10 percent better. Maybe this is why I like the 22 Hornet. [/QUOTE]
