Yes 10 .22 hornet,
It's not the popular Calibre it once was
That's because people don't sell them on! It is as popular as the 17H and a lot of people are replacing the HMR with either hornet some preferring the new kid on the block some going the traditional route.

In terms of cost of reloading there really is nothing in it between 0.22H and 0.223 other than 7 - 15 grains of powder so not surprising cost is on a par.
