London Best Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I believe only the original Hornets in the 1930’s were .223” . I think everything post-war at least is .224”. I have a friend with a BRNO made in 1946 and that is definitely .224” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is well as Sierra still make 40 and 45 grainers in Hornet flavour - although currently sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using Sierra Hornet bullets (but still have some left) after I tried Hornady V-max with Lil’gun powder. Group sizes reduced by two thirds.
