    I had some 22 Hornet FMJ survival rifle cartridges in the 70's. As a DAK (dumb *** kid) I shot them up. Oh well back then they weren't special or rare. As I recall they were plenty accurate, but not as effective as the Hornady SX 40 grain reloads on Jack Rabbits. A poor shot on one of the big bunnies romping around the high dessert near Palmdale might let them get away to die slowly. The SX pretty much cut them in half.
