Penny's used to make .22 bullets. Not sure if they are still in business or not, they were somewhere in California. For a load try 1.5-2.0gr. Red Dot. On the low end it duplicates 22LR, at 2.0 it'll come close to your 1500 fps You might go as high as 2.5 gr, but be careful.

coopershooter,

Beartooth bullets makes a 45 gr. cast bullet fo the Hornet.

For 1,500 f.p.s. in the KHornet, 3.3 grs of 231 ignited by a small pistol primer shoots very well for me.
