Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Can a 22 Hornet Collet die be used for the 22 K-Hornet?

I posted this separately from the other thread. I got ahold of Lee Precision today and asked if the 22 Hornet collet die could be used with the 22 K-Hornet. This was their reply.

The 22 Hornet collet neck sizing die cannot be used for the 22 K hornet. The 22 K hornet has a drastically different base to shoulder length and neck length, both are critical to get accurate sizing.

Lee can adjust a 22 Hornet collet die to the K configuration for $30. https://support.leeprecision.net/en/knowledgebase/article/22-k-hornet-collet-die-set-adjustment

If you have almost any cartridge for which they do not make a collet die, you can get one made. https://leeprecision.com/custom-collet-necksizing-die-set

Good info. Thanks

Steve you're such an anti gun anti freedom hypocrite. Remember when you supported the Trudeau covid lock downs in Canada and you celebrated the arrest of Truckers and the covid passport to leave your home? You're a joke

I use the standard Hornet die to size the K Hornet. Had to machine a brass spacer the exact thickness to make it work. Also had to take a thousand off the stem to add some neck tension.

Good work! How long did it take you? I sent mine back to Lee to get done.

I like to tinker, so it was worth the time. Other than that, I would spend the money and order the correct one.
