I was loading 55gr spire points over 3.7gr of Lil'Gun which produced 2740 fps with R-P cases. This is more than is possible with a k-hornet for some reason. This load reached out beyond 175yds - it...

I have found Lil’Gun to be quite magic in a standard hornet. (Magic = weird?) I had a recent experience. I seated a batch of bullets 0.6mm too deep. I thought, what the heck - give them a try! ...

I was wondering the same thing about the 17 rimfires. On rimmed centre-fires - shoulder all the way. A bit of a problem with the standard hornet! However, I do not get any case stretch, and so...

We are talking 'large pistol' powders here. They do work and with lighter bullets, can achieve the same velocities as the 'normal' powders would produce. The case will have a lot of air space in it...

It is likely that the RN accuracy suggestion arrises from the use of cheaper bullets and guns with long throats and bad bores. All else being equal, the RN bullet would not 'buck' the wind very...

I shouldn't ask and you shouldn't say, but, what is your loading that gives you that many reloads? And the velocity? Thanks.;)

I see no reason why you cannot get that from your K-hornet and still get 15 loadings per case. I have mentioned on another thread how I do my reloading for a hornet. My case life is indefinite. ...

The question I would ask is does a longer bearing surface make the rifle more forgiving of poor bullet alignment? There are rumours that round nose bullets can be more accurate. Is that due to...

GLWenzl, a bit off the topic here but if I may ask, have you tried heavier bullets without the crimp? I am about to switch to Lil'Gun and am trying to stay away from crimping and even sizing. (At...

WrzWaldo, may I ask - how important is removing the high spots? And on thin walled cases like the hornet and 303 Brit?

Hi Folks

Well, today I managed to measure my hornet reload runout. I measured in three different ways. One way gave me a runout of 0.02mm (half of 0.04mm) at the bullet tip and 0.005 at the neck...

I am unfamiliar with loading for a tip up action. Will a fired case go back into the TC chamber?

NZVarminter, I am very interested in the 260 Rem. My next calibre I think.

Different bullet types may or may not make a difference to seating runout and to runout sensitivity. What bullets have...

Alan, you didn't ask this, but the velocity obtainable from a standard hornet is quite impressive using Lil'Gun. Check out Hodgdon's loading site - they list a 55gr bullet at 2650 at normal...

Duplex Loads

Anybody using them?:eek:

How does one select the ratio and types of powders? Are the powders kept separate in the case or mixed? If mixed, is segregation prevented somehow?
