Skeet, I have had an original Low Wall in K-Hornet for several years. The only way to know the difference between it and the original Hornet is over the chronograph. It is not difficult to form K-Hornet brass. When you rebarrel it you may want to consider not using as much headspace as the original specs because the older brass had thicker rims. You can always headspace it on the shoulder when you load the brass and it won't matter. The gunsmith in Cody shouldn't have any trouble changing the block to centerfire. I wouldn't recommend going to a cartridge that is much over 40,000 psi working pressure. That is what the little actions were made for. I know the reproductions were made in .243, but there is new metalurgy in those.

22 K Hornet
Quite a few years ago I had a K Hornet. It was a Winchester 43 and it was fairly accurate. So I have made the cases. Headspace on the shoulder works much better and the cases last longer. But I think I am probably going to go with the 218.. I have a couple of Hornets now..(77-22H) and think the 218 would be a neat change..and I do have some ammo and cases...and many many 40 and 45 gr bullets to use. Wasn't the Bee based on the 32-20 case??
