and the other option...
Just buy a neck sizing die... $20 bucks or so and they ONLY size the neck... using the 20 caliber neck ball will also help a little.
I don't reload for the Hornet anymore... I discovered the 218 Bee... enough said.
My Ruger #1-S in 218 shoots the Calhoun 46 grain double hollow point over 17.0 grains of AA-1680 (approach carefully its WAY over the book, but, safe in 5 #1s so far) into 1.1" at 200 meters all day.
It also likes the 50 grain Ballistic tip with the same powder charge.
Coyotes and gophers don't like my rifle a bit.
My Contender barrel is 10" and shoots okay with a much milder load. Usually going into about 1.5" at 100 meters... not to worry, I still have the rifle.
