It doesn't get any better than when you make a good shot with a pistol, on a Pdog. I have taken several sizes and will do it again, in May. The first kill with a pistol was with the 44 mag of mine and I walked down to take a look since I did not see anything. Pieces just a bunch of pieces.
Your rifles are what I call, 100-150 yd range. I would feel that your hornet would do 100yds easily. All of them should be good for switching a little and not get hot.
Sounds like you have a fun trip planned.
