I think a Lyman 225415 cast bullet and IMR 4227 or some 2400 would be the very best bet in using the Hornet on deer. The velocity can be as high as 2200 FPS with #2 alloy, and a bit higher with linotype. It weighs 50 grains, and shoots very well in most small capacity 22s such as the Hornet, Bee, and K-Hornet. If you must use jacketed, use the Hornady 50 grain SXSP. It will expand reliably at Hornet velocity, and still have velocity to spare.
