[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 656968, member: 2736"] Going to a more powerful cartrige was not an option in this case because of the age of the rifle. (112 years old) and designed for Pressures of less than 42,000 CUPs. Most of today's cartriges are designed for 55,000 to 65,000 PSI and could be dangerous in an old rifle. so I was limited as to what cartrige I could use. The K Hornet was an attempt at reaching some reasonable velocities with pressures under 40,000 CUPs buy being able to use slower powder than the Hornet. It was a well thought out project "Except" for the die/chamber differences in the Different K Hornets. I think it is all lined out now and will be a fun rifle to shoot and reload for. And as Terry Bradshaw said "I would rather be lucky than good" and it looks like I was lucky to pick the Kilbourne K Hornet. I would still like any more comments that anyone has, so please post comments, loads, information or anything else that you have to contribute. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
