It uses like 8 grains of powder, and it's a tiny little projectile. 1/3 the powder, 1/3 the weight of the projectile.
It'll be quiet.

Quentin (45 South) has one built on a Ruger 77/22 Hornet. Raves about it, trying to convince me I need one, he just wants brass, projectiles and powder sales from me!
His has a big Zigilani supressor on it, 20 inch barrel, said its quieter than his supressed 17HMR...
If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

Completely different, hornet is much smaller, less than half the powder...

Much the same as the Hornet AI, but has some subtle differences (I don't know off hand what they are)

If you can believe Wikipedia it says they are one and the same but I thought the original 22 hornet was a rimmed case and the 17hornet is a rimless one. Stand to be corrected/educated though.

Wouldn't be much better than a 17hmr I would think... Very poor projectile construction for goats imo...
