hello from Scotland~
There seems to be plenty of cheap second hand Hornets kicking about in our gun shops at present, .223 being the "in-thing" at present.
I have always regreted selling saleing my old .22 Hornet it killed fox well out to 200 yards good fun on bunnies.
Now im a reloader it seems very attractive little round powder goes a long, long way best of all there great fun !
Been wondering about getting one converted to K-Hornet, since i have never reloaded for the Hornet im wondering about case life ? Ive heard that Hornet brass can thun very quickly and as a result cases dont last long ??
Would a K-Hornets brass last longer ?? How many reloads should i expect from good quaility brass ?? Also whats the BEST brass i could buy for the Hornet/K-Hornet ???
Whilst on the subject of best, is there an "IDEAL" barrel length for the .22 Hornet or is longer better ?
Was even thinking of a .17 /hornet (cant remember the name) but obviously i would have extra cost re-barrel. Worth the expense ??
Regards Englander
