Does any shoot a .22 K-Hornet?

How well does it shoot?

Was it difficult getting rechambered to the Kilburn version of the Hornet?



Thanks!

Not yet but hopefully in the next year.  It is one of the reasons that I bought my handi.  I have done the max conversion but I am wondering if the Khornet will be a little more than I can chew? Not sure yet but as for shooting I love my 10" Contender KHornet.  It shoots like a dream and I use the 40 grn V-max.  Works more like a hunting bullet over a varmit bullet at hornet velocities, good for yote whacking :grin:
I must be crazy.

I bought a Hornet last spring with the intention of having it rechambered to K Hornet.  I didn't spend a lot of time on load development, but had it shooting dime size 3 shot groups at 100.  Sent it to David White (in Pearl, Mississippi) early August to be rechambered and got it back 9 days later, a couple weeks before Katrina hit.  I've only been able to get to the range once to fire form cases but I have no reason to believe it won't be a decent shooter in the new chambering.
