.22 Hornet vs. K-Hornet

[River Rat]

I have owned 3 hornets,they are not the easist to make shoot sometimes.I find they are real picky on the loads.The last one I owned was a Sako Model 78 and i had that reamed to K-Hornet.When I got the load for it it would shoot 3/4 inch all day any day,but it took some work to get it to shoot good.Its a 200 Yards cartrige.As stated in other posts I would go the 223 or222 before I would have another Hornet.

Correct me again if you think I'm wrong cat, but regular Hornet case life is less than K-Hornet. Furthermore .223 brass is plentiful and cheap.

You are correct savagefan, the K hornet last longer, and I think this is one of the main reasons fellas rechamber it.
I know it was the main reason I did mine.

about how many times could one reload a .223 case with reduced loads??

If the necks are annealed every 6 to 10 firings, brass should outlive the barrel.
