legal in MN... though I love the cartridge, I'd never use it for deer ( I have better choices )

150 yards most "normal" Hornets would be good for "yotes"... I have a 300 yard range, & have some of mine dialed in to 250 yards, though IMO, at that distance it's better used on a bit smaller varmint...

I also have a couple converted to fast twist ( 1 in 9" twist ) barrels, & can stabilize up to 68-69 grain bullets... I regularly shoot 55's & think the additional bullet weight & rotation, makes the fast twist good to 200-250 yards out of the Hornet
