[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1642422, member: 2736"] My first hornet was w well used one that still shot well so I did load development and improved accuracy to reasonable limits. After shooting and reloading I felt the chamber could do with a cleaning up. Not wanting to remove the barrel and set the shoulder back unless I had to, I decided to try a K hornet reamer and freshen the chamber by improving the cartridge. Velocity was not the goal but some velocity wouldn't hurt. After re chambering to the K hornet, I found my Hornet loads even more accurate even during fire forming. After reloading the K Hornet I gained an average of 200 ft/sec.and even better accuracy. The Hornet case are fragile and a reduced load is recommended for fire forming to the K Hornet. After many more shots down the barrel I decided to replace the barrel with a premium barrel and used the same K Hornet reamer. Now this thing is scary accurate and one of the most fun rifles I have. Enjoy the little Hornet. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
