Reloading the Hornet, K-Hornet, and their wildcats .......

Can't remember where I read about loading this case, but a poster commented about his problems and frustration of only getting 2-3 loadings per case.

He was over-working the brass.

My question is How does one reload this brass without exerting too much stress on the thin case neck, causing it to prematurely crack/split?

Best two ideas I came up with was (one) to start reloading with factory loads shot in the firearm I'd be reloading for and only neck size, or (two) use a .17 caliber decapping pin for depriming, and resize the case using a body die, then a neck sizing die.

Suggestions? THANKS!
