    K-Hornet is a great little calibre. A significant step up from the standard Hornet case.
    Your load looks to be going fine... but if you get keen try and find some Hodgen Lil'gun powder. You'll find you'll be able to step your velocities up.

    I haven't shot my Brno Z465 k-hornet in some years. Its load is pushing 40gr v-max projectiles at a bit over 3100fps using lil'gun powder. Makes for a flat shooting magpie exploder...
    You cannot miss fast enough!

    Gillie, in a std hornet using lill gun (13 gns) you can get 3000 fps with a 40 gn slug. So not a real increase in velocity. The k chamber may help with case life though.
