reloading for the 22 K Hornet

[lucky luke]

Anyone has a decent accurate load for a 22 K Hornet and not for a 22 Hornet? Thank you

I always loaded mine the same as 22 hornet and found it accurate. I like the k-hornet because brass doesn't grow as bad and it lasts longer. Exactly 10 grains of 296 winchester over a federal small rifle primer and a 55 grain soft point bullet seated really deep.

Work up to around 13 grains if Lil'gun with a 40 grain bullet. What a great combination! D.

Been using 12.5gr of w296 under a 35gr V-max for years. Very good accuracy. Have two 22K hornets that it works flawless in. one is 21" barrel the other a 24".
Shoot this load 1500 to 2000 rounds every spring, so its a proven, solid load.
Hope that helps you a little bit.

I'll second that! Simple and deadly.

Have wondered if mine will stabilize bulk 55gr bullets but haven't tried it yet.

I believe the 2017 Hornady reloading magazine has some loads for the 22K. Might be worth a look if you want a few more options.
