I think the problem with slowing down the 22hornet is that they are quite often barreled using a slow twist rate. I had a 22 hornet with a 1:14 twist and I was never able to get bullets to stabilize under 1900fps. I wanted a quiet load somewhere in between the 22lr and 22mag. I would buy the CZ 527 in 22 hornet in a second if it had a faster twist. Sure there is always the barrel swap, but I just cannot bring myself to swap a barrel on a rifle the I just dropped over 600 bucks on.
