Well I am hoping to do a 219 zipper and I have the dies already but not the 22 hornet barrel.  That said, a 225 winchester or 221 fireball would be cool too.  Stimpy - did you had ream a 219 zipper chamber literally by hand?  Was that slow going?  I wasn't aware you could do a rechamber like that with that much metal to remove.  Interesting :)

22 K Hornet? ;)


Sorry to bring an old thread, sort of, back, but I had my Hornet redone to a K Hornet, and oh my... I thought the Hornet was a great round... the K Hornet, even better.
