.22 Hornet, 45 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Bullet, Remington

     This is factory new ammunition manufactured by Macs Reloads using new Remington Brass and the Remington 45 Grain Jacketed  Hollow Point bullet.  We used CCI Standard Small Rifle Primers and Hodgdon H-110 Powder.  This ammunition was manufactured on a Dillon RL-1050 loader.

     The .22 Hornet is a rather difficult cartridge to load or reload.  The case has extremely thin walls at the top of the case so care should be used when seating the bullet.  Failure to properly chamfer and expand the case mouth will result in a collapsed neck.  As with any small capacity, high pressure cartridge, small changes in components can result in large pressure changes.  Always remain alert to any potential changes in components or performance.

     Sierra Ballistics recommends fast burning powders such as IMR-4227, Hodgdon H-100 or Accurate Arms 1680.  Pre World War II rifles were chambered for .223 diameter bullets.  Later rifles were chambered for .224.  Jacketed bullets are available from both Sierra and Remington.
