    R93 that little K Hornet is a really good shooter alright, and those velocities are right up there. Those 55gr loads will be good on deer even with body shots within there range limitations.
    What length barrel is on your rifle? my Walther is only 20 inch so around 2700 fps with the 45gr Hornady is about all I get. I have had close to 2800 with that bullet but I think it was a bit hot for my rifle with that powder.
    Look for to seeing the results of a few hunts with the little K Hornet.

    It has a 19" barrel. Speeds are a bit slower than I expected with certain bullets but very happy with the 55gr load.
    I will use it mainly to shoot deer and chams than vermin. Probably get away with using a 45-50 grain bullet but I will stick with what I know works for now.

    Will take it for its first walk when the weather clears.
