I have a S&W pistol, have loaded some for it and can certify that the tiny bugger is a PITA to load, being very tiny, which makes it hard to check the powder level. In that general bracket, I much prefer the Hornet, and would also consider a .221 or .222.

I’m curious about what sort of accuracy a bolt gun might provide. My Smith is strictly duty-grade in that respect. Was hoping for better for use on small critters, but now it’s a PD piece, with Holosun and laser/light combo.

That RIA rifle hasn’t impressed me, based on a couple of reviews, but I suppose it’s a good companion piece for their pistol.


What fresh Hell is this?
