[Jim-Iowa]

I picked up the Hornet Handi-Rifle Thursday afternoon.
Truth is it`s the most fun I`ve had with any rifle I have owned.
I had 50 Remington Factory loads and 49 handloads(Remington case, WSR primer, 12grn Lil Gun and a 45 grn Sierra Varminter).
Breaking in a new barrel I saw no reason to go over Hogdons starting load.

I shot 72 rounds breaking it in, it broke in very easily.

Groups we can`t talk about, iron sights and 54yr old eyes are not optimum by any means.
I will say it is promising, like 2 shots within 3 caliber and 1 out an inch. If I could hold exact point of aim it would be better for sure.

I will be mounting a scope soon.
And if the fact I have 100 cases sized and primed, ready to charge and seat bullets tells you anything.
I am rarin to go.

There will be many fun days afield for sure!

Oh and my lack of faith in me with iron sights, cost the rifle first blood /first day. I blew a stalk on a Chuck, by trying to get within 50yds.
