FOLKS, I just got a 22K HORNET carbine barrel & was wondering if anyone loads for it? I don't if many folks still use the 22K with the 223 available was hoping someone can shed some light on it. I bought a set of Redding Delux dies & a # 14 shell holder. Any help with loading " tricks " data -etc. is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time & help. SOUP
A friend of mine got a Hornet case stuck in his Calhoun. He scratched the chamber trying to get it out. He says he's done with the Hornet-- the case is just too thin and too susceptible to damage when resizing. Good luck, soup...

Li'l Gun and around 13.0 grains +/-, depending on bullet weight. Some guns do not handle light bullets with LG due to large velocity variations. If you encounter that move to a higher weight. Excellent cartridge, powder, and you'll like the results. Hodgdon has specific load data for the K-Hornet BTW. Hornady 45 gr Hornet bullets cruise 3200 fps from my #1, no problem at all... shooting in the 7's or a hair larger for 5 shots.
