    Hornet cases should be 19 thou too small head diameter, 24thou too small rim diameter and 13 thou too thick rim thickness.

    Mr Nonte's book says don't expand the head diameter by more than 15 thou. Doesn't look like .22 hornet are any good

    if you need to trim the rim thickness without a lathe then try this...
    place a well fitting dowel in the case mouth and insert into a pillar drill
    bring up the drill base plate so it steadys the case when spinning
    now using a hacksaw blade trim the rim from the front side until you reach the correct thickness

    I beg to differ. The 32acp or 7.65 browning chambers on the case mouth like the 9mm does. I had one in the happy days in the eighties (Walther PPK German army issue). No rim.

    OK, we'll split the difference at "semi-rim"
