I had a old Mod 70 Hornet a few years ago....traded off a BRNO double set trigger Hornet gun to get the Mod 70///I have had Mod 43, Kimbers, Coopers, Anschutz, Rugers and others in Hornet...223/224 bbls both....and still have some old 223 dia. bullets and two sets of Hornet dies and no Hornet rifle........this weeK???I found some body that wanted the Hornet 70 more than I did and sold it and got a 220 swift in MOd 70 P64 ........used 2400 for most of the loads......good luck and good shooting!!

Hi   

Sounds like your about due for another Hornet 

I have a couple.  My favorite is a pre-war M-70 S.G.

What pet loads did your pre 64 M-70 prefer?

A good friend of mine traded me a 1948 model 70 in 22 Hornet that was in terrible shape someone had covered the stock with some kind of thick varnish filling in the checkering, but that wasnt the worse part of it they had opened the bolt face and re-chambered it to 222, well I got busy on cleaning it up after I fired several rounds thru it and it was wonderful, well after stripping the stock and re cutting the checkering and some general tender loving care it was a wonderful rifle, it will never be a collector well maybe but today I am the proud owner of a Sig sauer 239 and a colt officers model so he could get the rifle back!!  JIM
