    I just googled it and it seems like a lot of work, I have a handful of s&ab and PPU cases I won't be using if you want to give it a try.

    Would appreciate that Liam. I have been told the PPU cases are the best for reforming so would like to give them a go.

    Guesty bought a forming die, possibly direct from lee, makes short work of turning proper hornet brass into its baby brother

    Brendan your inbox is full but send me your address. There may be only a few ppu but it might give you an idea if it's viable before getting more. Also check the bins at the club as a lot of people still don't reload and just in their brass.

    Nah, I use a Redding F/L bushing die with no bushing which takes the neck to about 0.2". I then put the bushing back in and size completely. It needs trimming annealing before fireforming.

    Wiltshire shooting centre had S&B in stock, nice brass but takes a bit of prep due to tight necks and punched primer holes though.
    Thanks for looking

    Not a huge amount of people shoot .22H as a target load though and those that do probably all reload as there's not a huge amount of hornet factory FMJ out there

    Nah, I have been petitioning Lee to make the neck collet die in 17 Hornady Hornet but no luck so far. I can't be bothered with the faff a custom one though.
