Assuming same barrel lengths, max loads, optimal powder selection, and any other assumptions necessary for a fair comparison.


K-Hornet absolutely can Not push 35 grain bullets at 3400.

He will go home crying like a little schoolboy.

AA1680 is a damn fine powder for the lil beastie, and with the higher charge weights it's easy to fish out a good load.
