Looking to fill a specific niche. Desire better performance than .22LR, but want something I can easily suppress, which has me looking at 22 WMR and Hornet.
If I’m giving up the ease of finding ammo (22LR) then I also want to throw reliability considerations into the mix. I’ve had enough ignition failures with rimfire to totally trust it. The Hornet, being a centerfire, should help there.
The use of this, is as a backpacking rifle, and keeping myself supplied with food in remote areas.
Thanks in advance.
