Thread: .22 hornet

I found with mine that the Lee dies did not resize the cases enough to work in an early ZKW465. Every 3rd or so had to be popped out of the chamber with a rod, was fine on a diet of factory ammo so basically the answer I think would have been a skim off the base of the die and check it for function as it was the tapered section of the case body where the issue was. Something to be aware of if you start getting stuck reloaded cases.

I had a sneaky thought to K-hornet mine but it was in such good nick I decided to sell it off - as per regret it now but there you go. If I found one with a damaged barrel I'd get a new tube and make it a K-hornet, noticeable improvement and easier on cases over the standard version.

Edit- I have some .22Bee pills that I used on heavier animals and they were pretty good - a 45gr pill that has a very flat face and a segmented head, designed as a varmint bullet on the Bee cartridge but quite useful at the slower speeds of the Hornet. I think I've got most of a 100 pack left...
