Now, loading for the Hornet. If I were so unhappy with the powders I can get, I would be considering simply getting a cheap .223Rem and loading it down to Hornet levels until pistol powders become available again. You have enough case volume to make the velocities you're used to with the slower rifle powders that are still available. I run the .223 lower than Hornet velocities (52gn at 1750fps), but I run the .204 at Hornet levels (32gn at 2500fps) and enjoy both.
what powder are you using to download to hornet speeds ?
Trailboss. I still have plenty but it's likely it may never be manufactured again (if it is it'll likely be a different product), so want to save it for the cartridges that particularly like it. As I burn through my loaded TB ammo I'm starting to work up new loads with AR2206H to replace the TB.
