 Magnum Research maker of the world's most powerful handguns
All current-manufacture.22 Hornet firearms of all types are specced at.224 (and have been for a half-century), all commercially loaded.22 Hornet ammunition loads are specced at.224 (and have been for a half-century), and all current handload manuals use.224-caliber bullets for the.22 Hornet (with mention of the earlier situation).
The double-action Taurus revolver is designated as the Model 22H raging Hornet (with appropriate bold barrel logo) and is built on the massive new Taurus raging Bull frame, action, grip, and barrel system introduced last year for the profoundly powerful 50,000+psi.454 Casull cartridge.
Consequently, following World War II, gunmakers turned universally to putting.224-caliber barrels on all their.22 centerfire firearms (to simplify the manufacturing process), and many handload manuals provided.22 Hornet data both for.223 "Hornet" bullets and standard.224 bullets (hence the confusion).
