Thread: Reloading 22 Hornet (The Original) – Optimal Canada Goose Load

Yeah , Naaa ,

Almost , so I think its important to ONLY crimp once on the Lee Crimp die , donot rotate the case 180 degrees and crimp for second time , I feel it was not made to be used like that , it crimps in 3 places around the circumference , and thats IT .
So you end up with 3 areas crimped and 3 areas not crimped , if that makes sense .

But yes , when say bullet seating , YES cycle the press twice and in between rotate the case 180 degrees , as I feel this gives you less runout , again thats a OLD school trick .

As to powder for the Hornet , I use Lil gun , 13.0gr over a 40gr vmax bullet , get 3000fps and accurate in my rifle .

Cheers Chris

P.S. I use CCI pistol primer
