    Well I bought a box of factory 45gn sp's that had been gathering dust in the back of a cupboard, they shot very well too.

    Just remembered a load of cases I got off Allan, sure enough loads of rem's (but all K's) I'll have to see what I can get in them

    There's also a short article on hornet loading in the Dec Shooting Sports magazine, but not worth especially buying the mag for.

    Just did a quick check with my K cases filled to the brim with lil-gun, S&B hold 14.2gn, Hornady hold 15gn, Frontera hold 15.5gn, Rem hold 16gn - I wasn't expecting such variation

    Yeah you get huge variation, I have to rezero when switching between batches of ammo loaded in hornady (frontera) / win / PPU brass as the difference in pressure causes a change in POI. I do wish rem brass was easier to get hold of!

    The S&B capacity is handy to know, looks like a good candidate for a reduced load
    Thanks for looking
