[QUOTE="wonderman4, post: 1987266, member: 72101"] With a powder as "slow" as IMR4227, it would be tough to get an over charge in the small Hornet case. I have tried H4227 in the Hornet and velocities were not very exciting. Spice it up with either H110/WW296 or Lil'Gun, any where from 11-13 grains, but [B]start low and work up[/B]. With something like IMR4227 or H4227, case capacity becomes a problem. I can get minute of turtle at 200 yds with the three powders that I mentioned. Also, I switched to small pistol primers a few years ago and it got even better. Just for the record, I have shot ammo that I loaded back in 1976 that shot as good as the day I loaded it. [/QUOTE]
