Lee factory crimp question...Answered...
Will the .22 hornet factory crimp die work with a K-hornet? Just curious since it isn't listed on the Lee site but seems quite popular.
Ok, got off my butt and went to the reloading bench and ran a test. The .22 hornet factory crimp die will also factory crimp the K-hornet case and not interfere with the shoulder. I was afraid that it would contact the shoulder but it doesn't. I did find that you need to raise the die a bit from the regular hornet case position to crimp the K-hornet case.
Thanks,
Brian
