So many different things were going on, from repeating firearms, the development of self-contained metallic cartridges, smokeless powders, bolt-actions, double-actions, semi- and full-automatics, jacketed bullets and telescopic sights, just to name a few. Here we will take a look at a cartridge conceived in the blackpowder era that transitioned into the smokeless-powder era, with little more than a slight change in bullet construction and propellant. And like many cartridges of this era, it lives on today with a devoted—if not overly large—group of fans. That cartridge is the .22 Hornet. It started when Winchester spawned a small-game, black-powder cartridge in 1885 called the .22 Winchester Center Fire. It was originally chambered in the company’s then-new Model 1885 single-shot rifle.
Some 19 years later, Remington would chamber the No. 7 Rolling Block in .22 W.C.F., as well. The case was a diminutive proportioned bottleneck design with a long, sloping body and a scant 5-degree shoulder to facilitate extraction in the dirty-burning, black-powder rifles of the day. A 45-grain cast lead flat-point bullet in front of 13 grains of black powder turned up some 1,550 f.p.s. of muzzle velocity. The cartridge had widespread popularity as a small-game, target and varmint round. Yet with the advent of smokeless powders, shooters desired something that fouled less and could be shot more.
