Remington model 1 action strength

The same place that offered me the mystery stevens offered me a Remington model 1 rolling block in .22 hornet with the factory single set trigger and a 10x unertil scope. Somewhere in time someone put a heavy round barrel on it and a custom stock to help out with the scope height. A big block action should be ok with hornet pressures shouldn't it?

According to Frank de Haas, in his Gunsmithing book, all full size BPC rolling block actions will handled the .22 Hornet or the .218 Bee.

Thanks l had a feeling that it would be fine. I'm thinking of making it a .38-55 if l don't like the hornet.  It's the first set trigger roller I've seen.

A member here has my SST roller built by Verl Sigmund in 38-50RH. 
I really miss that gun. 
glad to know there is another 22 Hornet hater besides me!

That needs to be resolved soon before your reputation is tarnished! 
I have a few 38-55 rifles but my favorite is a plain old lugged hammer 44 I got for a song.with the original tang sight and blade front.I breech seat  the Ideal 375165 with light loads if CFE Pistol and it quite  often shoots under 2" at 100 yards though the bore is far from mint.

I know a German hunter down by Munich that has an 22 H. insert barrel in a drilling. Has shot a bunch of Roe deer with it, all head shots at under 70m. Claims none have ever walked away but not my choice of caliber for this.
  

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.
