Reloading the Hornet, K-Hornet, and their wildcats .......

[pistolchamp]

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.
