Anyone shoot the .22 Hornet?

I have had a .22 Hornet for many years, I've been thinking about rechambering it to the .22 K Hornet, any thoughts on it.

You will find your brass lasts much longer. Well, as long as you don't try to turn the K-Hornet into a 222 Rem. The flowing of brass is reduced if not eliminated and the extra couple hundred fps increase is nice. You will of course need new dies, but I believe they are available from each of the major manufacturers. I have a NEF Handi Rifle that I opened up to K-Hornet. It is a easy mod. Just run the reamer in and cut the new shoulder. Both versions headspace off of the rim.

Thanks AJ, I have a Ruger MarkII SS and Laminated Stock.

I have a Savage 340 in 22 Hornet but have no expirience with what you ask. I find mine is more than enough to say 200 yds. on woodchuck and other smaller creatures. I shoot the 46 gr. Winchester HP.
