EnglanderHornet and K-Hornet brass
Hello from Scotland~
Can any one tell me how many times i could expect to reload a .22 Hornet case ?? Assuming collet dies are used ??
Will a .22 K-Hornet case last longer ?? Can you get collet dies ??
Regards Englander

EddieVIn my hornet im up to about load 5 or 6 with my brass and have only split a couple of necks.....I have lost more brass by not positioning the bullet correc while loading and folding over a tiny lip on the case mouth.

ConEnglander,
I've got a Brno ZKW-465 in 22 Hornet that is giving me about 6 to 8 reloads per case before the necks split. I dont push my cases however, moderate load of Win 296 with a 45gr projectile. On the issue of collet dies for the 22K Hornet, check out the following website as it may be of interest.
