Can't Find Minimum Case Length?22 Hornet..

[HogginHank]

Does anyone know what (or if) the minimum case length is for the 22 Hornet.I think the max was 1.405" or something?? I don't have my old Sierra Book next to me right now.. Thanks

1.393 min case length..trim to length or whatever..Max is 1.403

Normal "trim to lenght" is 0.010" under max case lenght reguardless of cartridge being loaded.

With all due respect, Do you even have a reloading manual ?
All of the 20+ odd manuals that I have, they ALL have 22 Hornet
info. JMHO.

I do have a reloading manual but it was not next to me when I posted this thread as you can read above. And there is info in it but I did not remember finding a minimum length any where in it.. I have about 18 years of reloading under my belt so I'm not an overnight expert. 2 folks replied with helpful info and your reply didn't give me anything at all. It seemed a little rude if you ask me. I guess perception is everything??Thanks for the info Ol' Joe and skeet..Adios for now..

I didn't see the JMHO. I was a little on edge last night because of TOO MANY of the wifes family in our house for the last week. :mad: Some times folks(myself) shouldn't write letters or type when they have a LOT of anger in their veins. I didn't mean to snap back or be too sensitive. I do have a couple of reloading books on hand and have been loading the same 22 Hornet loads for a long time until my Kimber Hornet was stolen and I had to buy a new Hornet. I am experimenting now with the new hornet and with some of the info I have learned on this forum over the pasy 4 or 5 years. The crimping has really helped the accuracy but the last time out I had mixed results and was really wanting some help with what might be going on.

I have always just went off of the BOOK guidlines and seated my bullets out just off the lands and tried different bullets/powder/primers until I found the load for that gun. Not a lot more to it than that in my reloading experiences over the years. I don't do a ton of reloading anymore so I am still pretty much loading like I was taught many years ago. The only up to date info I get is off of here and a few other "Reloading" forums that some close friends are on..

This forum is better than most of the info I have on hand. I do read everything thoroughly before I do it and/or ask the folks on here. It seems that I get a few replies on most of my questions that are pretty much the same from different folks. That confirmation from experienced reloaders really settles my worrys and nerves about anything I am going to try that I am new to.This forum is really a life saver.
Thanks again for the info. Didn't mean to snap"yote". Adios' for now..
