One Box of 50 Cartridges: .22 Hornet, newly made with “new brass”, cases with “PPU 22 Hornet” head-stamp and loaded with a 45 grain JSP (jacketed soft point) projectile.
History of the .22 Hornet: The 22 Hornet was developed in the late 1920s by Colonial Townsend Whelen and Captain G.L. Wotkyns for the Springfield Armory, using the older 22 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) black powder cartridge, and the new (for the era) smokeless powders to achieve higher velocity. Winchester offered this caliber ammunition to the public in 1930.
