Hello

So a friend of mine picked up a Savage Model 219 in 22 Hornet. Great little rifle!!
So When we were plinking away I noticed right away that the brass was completely different then the unfired brass.. I went directly to my Hornady book and seen that this gun has been re chambered to 22K hornet but was not marked...

Is there a good brand of neck sizing dies a person should buy for this? as well as a seating die.. I was thinking redding and did find some on Sinclair... What do all you think..
Also i will be reloading for him and was thinking 40gr Vmax with about 11gr of Lil Gun...

I don't know the rate of twist but I'm thinking its 1-14 or 1-16.. will that stabilize a 40gr bullet?

Thanks
Josh
 
Prophet River has Redding K Hornet dies in stock. I use 12.5gr of Lil Gun in a standard Hornet, with the 40gr v-max, so 11 gr in a K Hornet, would be very mild.
 
today we were in shooters choice in Kitchener/Waterloo and they had a set of Hornady dies there for the K Hornet so he picked them up. will see how it shoots tomorrow. Did try a load of 12gr of Lilgun with 45gr Nosler hornet pills..... way over pressurd.. and i don't know why.. it is a break action gun so all was good but we had a hard time breaking the barrel... did not make sense... anyways we detuned down to 8 grains and then we will c what happens tomorrow now.
