I found this at the Henryville Range

Headstamp is .22 Hornet
Hollow Point Bullet mics at .102

Anyone got any idea what it is?

You can't copy and paste images from your email, you have to upload them either here or host them elsewhere and link them.

Without seeing the pic, I have to assume you fount a hollow-point .22 Hornet. Is there reason to believe it is anything else?

Edit: I though you were saying that the hollow-point cavity was .102...

There are a few .1 caliber wildcat rounds.

.10 Eichelberger Dart?

.10? Thats kinda like a hotrodded nail gun, lol.

 

[spaniel]

I appreciate this thread, if only to know that .10 caliber hotrod rounds existed.

 

[Broom_jm]

The case-forming and annealing chores alone make those odd-ball rounds a real PITA.

 

[Randy Divine]

I think I fixed the picture

 

[Randy Divine]

Chezuki, Looks a lot like your .10 Squirrel

 

[M67]

Definitely looks and sounds like a squirrel round

 

[spaniel]

Definitely looks and sounds like a squirrel round

Except the neck is definitely longer.

I never realized such a thing existed. Was this developed pre-.17 hmr?

 

[Mgderf]

What's the muzzle velocity of a .10 squirrel?
Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

Don't show this to the AR guys, they will want to build an upper for this round too...

Looks like a .22 hornet necked down to that bullet size.
Probably custom made, but where would you get .103 Squirrel dies?
wonder what that round Chrono's at?? MV has to be way up there.

 

[Kernal1984]

I have been thinking about an AR upper that shoots .10 squirrel, any one know where I can get one?

 

[hornadylnl]

That'd be fun trying to load with varget.

 

[chraland51]

Excuse my ignorance, please. I have never heard of anything smaller than the .17. What would the purpose of such a round be? It is being called a squirrel gun, but why would this be any better than a .22? Distance, Maybe? What kind of velocities are we talking? Where would you get a barrel for the rifle? It is a centerfire and not a rimfire, is it not? The ammo would all be custom made?

Just goes to show you can find anything out at that range... Not so common ammo along with other things

Shoot a squirrel and make sure the bullet passes through it...and the tree behind him.
