I'm looking to get another Barrel for my Encore. What are the pro's and cons of the K hornet vs the sTandard Hornet.

I've been using the Bulberry barrels but would like to order a barrel and have it in 3-4 weeks. any suggestions.

the .22k hornet brass can easily be made by firing regular .22 hornet ammo through the .22k hornet chamber blowing out the shoulder to proper dimmensions,which increases case capacity which equals more velocity.

so i guess the advantages to the k-hornet is the simple brass forming and the increase in velocity.

Besides the increase in velocity,you can set your die back and headspace on the shoulder which will give you better case life.
