Yes, very nice work. The Hornet is a natural for a DR cartridge, being a miniature .450 NE in general shape. I have often thought that the perfect set of doubles might well be a .22 Hornet, a .32-40, and a .450 NE. A big step up in size each time!

...but what's this, for heaven's sake?




Wouldn't this have been better?




...or even this?




You can have all the workmanship in the world, but a little detail like that can ruin the whole thing.
Cal. 22 Horn. indeed! What were they thinking?
