Let me start by saying I'd classify myself as an "old fudd" reloader. I recently started loading for a Rugerr .22 Hornet I purchased. I'm loading 45 grain Hornady bullets over a charge of 2400. I've noticed there are available 33 & 35 grain bullets that can break the 3000 fps barrier in the Hornet. My main targets are woodchucks, crows, & an occassional coyote.

Do these light bullets offer me anything or are they mainly for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, etc?
