22hornet or 22 khornet
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am finally going to purchase a 22" carbine barrel.
I know the 22 Khornet will out perform the standard hornet by 100+// fps.
Are the K-hornets as accurate and how do the K-hornets compare to the 218 Bee, as far as accuracy and velocity?
Thanks in advance for any input.

<eldeguello>The K-Hornet is as accurate, generally more accurate, than the plain Hornet. In addition, it makes the brass last a lot longer! That's really the main advantage, along with increased accuracy. Yes, it does give slightly higher velocities, but that's not the main reason to rechamber. The K-Hornet is not quite the equal of the .218 Bee in velocity, but is as accurate. The Bee is a good cartridge, overall better than a plain Hornet. The .218 Mashburn Bee is even better, having the same advantages over the regular Bee that the K-Hornet has over the regular Hornet.
