to have one of the new Ruger 57 to play with. I've just always bemoaned the short magazine in the 77/22Hornet, ( which mine was made to a 22 K E Hornet.) When loading the Nosler Ballistic tip bullets or the Hornady V max, They were too long for the magazine and had to be singly loaded. Not all bad, but was somewhat annoying at times.
The little 5.7 is pretty close to the same capacity as the original Hornet. Yet in that little of case, a small change in capacity does make a big difference, yet it would be neat as for the aforementioned ability to use the "pointy" bullets.
I believe that is the reason Hornady shortened the 17 Hornet when they introduced their 17 Hornady Hornet, to fit the mag properly. I've shot several of the 17 H-Hornet and it's a dandy little cartridge. Great for small vermin around the farm.
