Obviously if you look at what load your running and it's a ' hot' load, then, yes.. You can back off the load - thus lowering the pressure in the case, which may make the brass last longer... Also you could invest time researching the size of primers and see if you could find one that is slightly larger than the one you are using.
Ultimately, Hornady brass does not like high pressure & is known to stretch in the primer pockets
As for .22 hornet brass, look about... Some shops have it !
I doubt the brass has stretched. Only been fired once with 9gr of LilGun. Hodgdon says start at 9.7. Others have said that's too much and have settled on 9.1 - 9.4gr. Apart from that it's only one or two that's loose. I did notice some were harder to get in than others. This is with Fiocchi primers which fit the Hornady shallow pocket nicely without poking out.
So assuming the brass hasn't stretched can anything be done? How much are the dies to neck down the 22 Hornet cases?
