I've got one in a .222 I've not had any feeding problems but it's not the hornet you ask about. it's kind of long throat it also it's not kind of long throated it's just [bleep] long throated. but when you get the bullet seat where they need to be they will still go through the magazine in the gun shoots plenty good. the bolt lift which cocks the firing pin is quite heavy in stiff. I haven't shot it that much in a lot of stuff I read says it will smooth out. I took it apart and polished a few pieces and it done some good but not a lot. I'm sure glad I got a bargain on the gun and I would be highly disappointed if I'd paid full price.
