[QUOTE="db-2, post: 322934, member: 4743"] My first deer rifle in 59 was a model 70 in 222. Not the best but it was what i had. Hunted rabbits with a 22k hornet in model 70. Said came with the k in order to compete with the 222. Anyways would hunt rabbits in spring laying in the furrows of fall plowing. Found the 222 would hit but rabbit would take off running for a ways then die. Hornet never did that. But the 222 was a big time bullet in its time until the military took the 223 over the 222. A lot of bullets came from the 222. Today my rifle is chamber for the 222 magnum. Now have 80 bullets for it and try to buy whenever i find a box. But have not shot and there are no rabbits and no fall plowing. They were great times back then. One spring day dad and i took the 22 hornet. the family car (a 1949 Olds convertible) into the plowing and got over 30 rabbits. All put in the truck and back seat of the car. I think they had some value but less than a buck. Next came the 250/3000 in model 99e savage and then a model 94 30-30. It was all a learning process but my 6.5 creedmoor is a 264 mag in a model 70 and that is the way it will be. db [/QUOTE]
