I started reloading back in the '60's with a Lee loader. I've also loaded a lot of ammo with one for the .22Hornet.
It will load decent ammo, but is slow.... I always loaded in sequence; size all cases, then prime all cases, ect....
Also, you'll find that after 3-4 loadings that chambering might start getting a little tight..... This is where you'll want to use conventional reloading dies. But, you might not get much more than 5-7 loadings from your brass.
The two powders that I use in the Hornet for "conventional" loads, is H110, and of course Hod. Lil'Gun.
Of the two I prefer Lil'Gun, but H110 has it's place. For bullets lighter than 40gr, I prefer H110. Especially with the 35gr Hornady V-Max.
For 40gr and heavier, it's Lil'Gun.
I prefer 12.5gr with a 40gr Sierra "Varminter" Hollow Point. It's designed to take upwards of 4,000fps so performs like a "big-game" bullet from the Hornet. I've taken over 20 deer with that above load at 1.78"oal and a Winchester Small pistol primer. This is one of the few loads that will consistently go near MOA from my Ruger M77/22 KBZ (heavy bbl, stainless, w/laminated stock).
I had a .22K-Hornet once. It was a Ruger #3. (Neat rifle, wish they still made it...) But, the chamber job was "botched", and was reamed out of round. Fired brass was good for one reloading, and then would separate above the rim due to excessive working of the brass being run through the RCBS dies I had for it. Chamber was also way over-sized... (Circa early 1980's). I "passed" the rifle along in a trade for something else.....
I believe you'll enjoy your little Savage. It's been a long time since I saw one for sale. Most in my neck of the woods were in .30/30. I had one in .30/30 for a while. It lacks some of the refinement of newer designs, but was decently accurate. My wife enjoyed shooting it. Said it had just enough recoil to feel like a "real" gun, but not so much it would "hurt" you........
But I digress......
