Every hornet I have I've rechambered to K hornet. I remember trying to work up an gilt edged accurate load would drive me crazy with the regular hornet. The K hornet is MUCH easier to work up a load for. Check the K hornet out.
Have you had any sucess loading it down to match the original Hornet? I don't want increased velocity or noise, but case life and consistent acceptable accuracy would be nice.
