Have read a few posts here that suggest that the standard .22 Hornet Lee collet die will work OK on the K Hornet . Tried it today and despite adjustments could not make it work without crushing the case . BTW the Lee Hornet bullet seater is bloody hopeless with some projectiles . The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

I haven't tried the Lee collet die but I do have a set of RCBS FL K hornet dies and a Redding neck die. I especially like the Redding Neck die and I find my accuracy has improved since I got it. The RCBS FL dies were sizing down the cases slightly. | |||

I have used the Lee collet die for the regular Hornet with great success. If you send the die back to Lee with a few cases, they will rework it to work with your K Hornet. NRA LIFE MEMBER You can trust the government. Look how well they took care of the American Indian... | |||

Ordered a Redding 3 die set today . Too much hassle to send my Lee die back to the manufacturer from Oz . Did like the collet die though .

Nope, I've tried it and the Lee Collet die will almost but not quite work with the K-case. In theory, it should be a fairly simple amatuer machinist process to drill out the shoulder area of the collet with the properly-sized bit to allow the K-hornet to enter far enough, but having a drill bit hard enough to drill the hardened steel is another matter. I may give it a try when I have some time to kill. | |||
