Handi Hornet Loaders with 1 in 9 twists
« on: March 11, 2012, 11:52:09 AM »
Fellow Handy Fools have any of you loaded a Hornet with a 1 in 9 twist . One of my buddies has joined the ranks of Handy Junkey's and has purchased a Hornet Barrel. I thought I would try 50gr bullets first . Any thoughts?

              You are on the right track. My K Hornet shows a preference for the 50 and 55gn bullets . I gave up trying to find a load for 35grainers .
  I leave them for my Martini.  The 50 gn Sierra s/p and the 55gn CBE cast work well in mine both using the same dose of 10.5 gns of ADI 2205. These longer bullets  seem to stabilize well without having to be driven at full throttle.I guess that is due to the faster twist rate.
