Comments and advice welcome I have not crimped my Hornet, and am curious what others have experienced. There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

Thanks for the reply. Originally Posted by CrowRifle A light crimp on my .22 Hornet improved accuracy. There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.
