Am wanting to start casting and It looks like my Hornet is the odd man out.
Reading many threads in the reloading threads and going to the castboolits site, I've noticed a lot of talk about shooting small pistol primers in the Hornet,and how accuracy is enhanced .
How many here have gone to the small pistol primers and what kind of results are you getting with them?
I kind of get the drift as being ,that the case capacity is so small, the rifle primers cause the bullet to start moving before the powder charge is fully ignited, causing wide swings in velocities and standard deviation.
How about some favorite loads with the small pistol primers? Is any one using cast bullets and which design?
Thanks in advance.
