I just picked up an H&R 158 Topper in .22 Hornet, and curious about reloading. I'd been looking for a Hornet for a couple months, and had almost pulled the trigger on a new CZ bolt gun...but found the H&R. I've had one for years in .30-30, and really like the older single shot rifles.

I've read where some people use small rifle primers, but I've also read that only small pistols should be used....any suggestions? Plan is to load 40-45gr bullets, just to make a decent 150 yard plinker/coyote rifle. I have plenty of 4227, H110, AA #9, and *maybe* a couple pounds of 1680.
