Anyone with experience loading 22 Hornet using the Lee die? what have you found as far as accuracy? 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.

Pa shooter I would move your question to the reloading section, varmint rifles, not reloading software. I am sure you will get some comments on their to help you.

While not concerning the .22 Hornet, I bought a LEE factory crimp die for my .44 Special handgun ammo. In side by side testing, crimped vs non-crimped I found no difference in accuracy.

A light crimp on my .22 Hornet improved accuracy.

I will try a light crimp and see if it improves any. The rifle is shooting sub moa now so i can't complain. Thanks for the reply.
