My K-Hornet, Winchester 54 chambered by Lyle Killbourn himself, the "K" in K-Hornet, righteously sings with old 45gr. Speers and Li'l Gun. (8x Lyman Junior Targetspot)

Pretty sure those old guns are 16 twist. So, you may really get good groups and terminal performance with the Shock Hammer 33 gr. It's an expanding mono and short enough to work really well with that rifle.

Yeah, it's a 1-16 twist with .223" groove diameter. Pretty standard dimensions for Hornets in the 1930's. I'm not too concerned about terminal performance, my groundhog hunting days are fairly behind me except for the handful I pop in the backyard where a .22RF suffices. Paper is what I mainly kill these days!
