k hornet
« on: January 01, 2006, 04:49:04 PM »
if I have access to a lathe, a little machinist experience in college 20 years ago how hard is it to ream out my hornet to a khornet?  How much are the ream(s)?  Where do I get them?  Is there really a benefit to doing the conversion?  I shoot a handi with open sites...love the rifle but the ammo is Killing me!!$$$  Is there an advantage to the k from a reloading standpoint?  --thanks

Haven't done a chamber ream, but you can rent one for about $35, they cost $85-$110. K hornet brass lasts longer from what I've read.
