22 K-Hornet is better…. It actually has a sharp shoulder that makes the brass last for many, many reloads. Regular Hornets have such a long slope to the shoulder the brass stretches crazy quick. Not so with the K-Hornet.
I found that fire-forming regular Hornet brass is as easy as shooting it once…. But you have to anneal the brass first or it has a tendency to crack. That's pretty easy, too. Just heat the neck to just shy of cherry red using a drill and 3/8" socket to turn it for a few seconds in a propane flame. Drop it into a pail of water, and viola…. Dry it, load it, shoot it, you have K-Hornet brass.
I have it in an TC Encore barrel. My favorite caliber.
