Hornet Bullet

[Rocky Raab]

Sorry I didn't get an answer in first, Merlin. But yote is exactly correct.

Hornet bullets are made with much thinner jackets than other bullets in the same weight and diameter. It's an ideal situation. If you want really explosive results, use the ones labelled "Hornet" and if you want deeper penetration or slower expansion, then you can simply load the otherwise identical bullet but with a thiocker jacket by selecting the "non-Hornet" design.

That way, you can use a Hornet on varmints from mice to coyotes and still get great performance.

Oh, that load you asked about is a real good one. I sometimes wonder if Bruce Hodgdon named H110 after he found that 11.0 is ideal in the Hornet. It's well known that he named H380 that way - after his best 22-250 load.

As mentioned above, stick to mild, standard primers and use a Lee crimp with Hornet loads for best results. I use the Rem 6 1/2 or CCI small pistol primers exclusively.
