[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2235217, member: 59036"] The .22 Hornet is a rimmed cartridge and head spaces off the rim. If the cases are stretching so as to cause case separations, than I would also suspect excessive head space. Either the chamber is cut to deep or the rims are to thin. I’d measure the case rims and if they are within specs, I’d suspect the chamber was cut to deep. Buy a head space gauge or take it to a gun smith and have it checked. If it’s excessive, than the barrel would have to be set back and rechambered. If it was my rifle, I’d would probably go the K-Hornet route. [/QUOTE]
