KHornet
Well-Known Member
Loaded the first KHornet yesterday on the 4 holer Lee. Works like a champ!
First die, Redding neck size die.
Second die Lyman M die.
Third die powder drop with the new little Lee adjustable gizmo that replaces the disks, with 4 gr. of Unique and 225438.
Last then the seating die.
Takes a bit to get the powder drop die set just right, and failure do do so will ruin a thin little case like the hornet. I weighed all finished loads with cast that are charged with less than half a case full (up to the neck), and these 40 came out just fine. I do every so often check charge weight, particularly with flake powder. Probably every 10-12. These all came out just fine.
The little adjustable gizmo will work fine for most cast loads with fast powders I believe.
