Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles 22 hornet Lilgun load - too much of a good thing?

I don't shoot the 22 Hornet, as I just load the 223 down when I think I need the velocity the Hornet gives.

When I get more velocity than load manuals say I should get, then I let the brass tell me what to believe.

If I have a loose primer pocket in a couple of shots, that tells me all I need to know. If I see no problems then the rifle is telling me what it is good with... not some generalization out of a reload manual, which is usually controlled by lawyers and accountants, not rifle engineers...
