[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1741572, member: 56094"] When I started out fire forming brass for a 250 Sav AI I contacted Sierra and they advised me to use a max 250 Sav load of IMR 4064 with the bullet hard into the lands. That worked wonderfully well. However you are using a 22 Hornet which I believe headspaces off the Rim not the Shoulder so a bullet into the lands shouldn't be needed. A couple of years ago I started loading for a new 22 Hornet and bought 100 new Win cases and they were junk. Case mouths were so badly cut that they wouldn't stand upside down on a glass table top. Although the first loading with Lil Gun and 40 gr Sierra Hornet bullets had an ES of around 30fps and sub MOA groups the next loads in the same cases had ES as high as 400fps in a 10 shot string and the 100m groups were over 6". All those issues disappeared when I got hold of 200 RWS cases. PPU cases have been said to be very good in the Hornet but they are known to be hard so that may be your issue. [/QUOTE]
