Thanks offfhand, for addressing my question. Where I was going with my question was having the convenience of having the rifle and pistol chambered in the same cartridge.
I also want to chamber my martini cadets in either the hornet or the Remington Jet. So I'm gathering info for those projects.

MSISUT, Chambering a Martini Cadet for the .22 Rem Jet is an interesting idea. You also might want to consider doing it in .22 Jet "Improved." There are various versions of the improved Jet, all with sharper shoulder and reduced body taper that give you increased powder capacity for higher velocity. Also, the reduced body taper of the improved Jet will mostly eleminate the setback problem that plagued revolvers and has been reported to cause stiff opening with Cadets chambered for the Jet. Shortage of Jet brass should be no problem as you can easily form good cases from .357 brass. Another idea I just had is necking the case on down to .20 caliber. There are good, accurate .20 bullets available now and a .20/Jet/Improved/.357 would be a cute cute and speedy round for the Cadet. And if you're more inclined toward the .22 Hornet for the Cadet, by all means consider making it a K-Hornet. I have a few of these that have done quite well.

Once again Offfhand, I thank you for your input. I like the idea of a 22 Jet improved. I have quite a few of these cadet actions which are perfect canvases for me to engrave. I have 11 grand kids that all shoot so I have my work cut out for me. Once I settle on the cartridge, I will have a reamer made so I can make several rifles all of which will be chambered in this chosen cartridge. This makes the brass some what common where there would be several rifles all the same. (Wow I'm really rambling)
Very fun thread. Thank you

Msisut,
A Martini Cadet and a .22 Barrel.
Gee that brings back memories. I had mine chambered for .22 K-Hornet. I used a (Sporterized) Enfield rear stock, made a custom forearm (flat on the bottom) a 3>9 scope and "Diggers" Beware! Longest (Paced Off) shot was a crow at 225 yds.

I have to weigh in on the Ruger 77/22 I bought an all weather hornet last month and the first time to the range it shot a .426 3 shot group with factory Winchester 46gr. HP at 50yds. I cant wait to get back out to try it 100 since I have done a make over on it. I bedded the action, floated the barrel,shimmed the bolt .005 and stoned the trigger. I hope it will shot as well at 100 as it did at 50 now that I am done with it.
Thanks, Stan

I had both a Hornet Rifle that I think was made by Savage and a T/C Contender barrel.
Great little round, good for taking out squirrels and other small critters. I am not about the availibility of brass these days. I did see some new and once fired brass on gunbroker, but I still get choked up by all of the prices on everything these days.
I have a 45 grain CB mold that works perfectly for the hornet. The only problem I had with reloading the hornet was the brass was a little fragile.
If the price is right for the rifle and it is in good clean condition, make sure of the rifling, you would have a good little plinker or varmit gun.
If you could find out the make, model, condition and anything else, some one on the forum could probably give you an educated guess of the actual value.
