Does fit in a hornet action

One of my favorite little cartridges is the 20 Ackley hornet, 14grs of 1680 give 3425fps with a 32gr VMAX, my killer bee's do just a little more speed, but with 16.9grs. If I could find more winchester hornet brass, I might be tempted to make another 20ah. I almost went the route of 357mag down to 20cal. But instead I used starline dw360 brass down to what could be called a rimmed vartarg. It does hold about 1gr. More of powder the a regular vartarg. Works well in my martini's

Not really interested in the Vartarg.

In my experience making 22 Spitfire from Carbine brass, it helps a lot to lightly re-anneal the neck before forming, even with new brass. Otherwise I get what I will call crepe paper looking necks. Going on down to 20 would probably make this step even more helpful in making quality brass. I have had all of my CZ and custom action Hornets converted to 22 Spitfire; no more crappy brass problems and easy 3400 +/- fps using 40gr bullets with great accuracy. One other thing, at least in the 22 version I have, is the best powder is Shooters World SBR-SOCOM if you can find some. AA1680 may be better for the 20 cal though.

Like the 20-30 carbine I guess

Some of the cartridges in the pic are self-explanatory which case they are made from but what cases are the 20 OTTR, 204 Habu Shrew and 20 SLC formed from?
With Saubier down it's not easy to find the answer.
