I buy it from Grafs when in stockYou didn’t need to spell it out it was obvious. Thanks for the info on the privi brass!… where do you get this brass at I would like to try some.
To the op,
I’ve never lost a primer pocket in a hornet, always lose a neck first or signs of case head separation. I’ve never annealed my hornet brass as I don’t have that plate for my annealer although I just bought another hornet off here and may start. Losing a primer pocket can only happen with too much pressure, if your wanting speed the hornet isn’t for you, improved case is for case life mostly. I have wore out several hornet barrels and that takes a lot of shooting, always used AA 1680 , if I ran out H110 but mostly 1680 I tried them all and it’s been the best for me. I think 11.5 grains of 1680 and my cases lasts a long time. It’s a small case so for best accuracy you need to measure each load don’t throw your charges. I use small pistol primers but CCI 400 was designed for low pressure rounds like the hornet, I have better luck with pistol primers.
If your jamming to get a better formed case lower your charge to no more than middle for hornet not k hornet!… remember it’s not a k hornet until after its formed, someone mentioned making a false shoulder, I have not formed k hornet but have used a false shoulder for 6brx and dasher and like it wayyyy better than jamming, lots less pressure. Good luck and by the way Winchester has always lasted the longest for me outta win, rem or Hornaday I haven’t tried the privi but will order some tomorrow if it’s available and I can find out where.
