[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 656222, member: 2736"] Thanks Tim. That is what I had heard also. So far I have found 3 maybe 4 different K Hornets. The Kilbourne Hornet(35o). The Ackley K hornet (40o). A shorter version (The case has been trimed about 3/16") and I read a post on another web site that there was a man named ken Howell that came up with his own version that is also different. I'm not sure if any of them is better than the other but I Understand by comments that I have heard that the 40o (Ackley) May be problematic while loading. I don't have any experience With this in the K Hornetbut I can understand how the shoulder can collapse From the expander ball because of neck tension with the small shoulder. I am happy with the Kilbourn K hornet version but want to make sure that I am using the correct dies. I found a set of C@H Dies and they look correct (35o) so I will fire form some cases and then use some Cerosafe To cast the sizing die and dimension each. If they are not the same I will make my own dies. This exercise just go's to show you that you cannot take anything for granted and "BEFORE" you start on a Wildcat cartrige make sure you know everything possible about it. I will keep digging for more info. and hope someone that knows more will chime in. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
