Anyone out there have a .22 Jet Handi. I seem to think they may have made them at one time and have been thinking of them lately,I am not sure why, perhaps all this talk of .22 Hornets lately has my mind a bit addled....<><.... :)

Wally(Mt3030) and Mike(Cheatermk3) both have em, and I suspect Kenbev does, or did, also!! :D I was after a barrel on ebay a year or so ago, but it went for well over $200, so I dropped out of the bidding, but I did pick up a die set which I sold to Wally since he had a rifle in hand and I never ended up with one. :'(

I picked up a Lee Loader in .22 Jet the other day and the cartridge has always appealed to me. I would like to get a barrel some day. Those of you that may have them, how do the shoot and any thoughts about them compared to the .22 Hormet, .22 WMR, .223, and .17 HMR? What about it as a coyote and all around varmint round? Any problems with reloading? What bullets do you like, .223 or .224?....<><.... :)
