The objective of this project was to increase myshooting pleasure by (1) developing accurate, easy tomake ammunition that would (2) make more use of theguns I had. That's approx 2 grs below the suggested start charge in the Sierra reloading manual. My understanding is that the name comes from the velocity it produces in the 22 hornet and as Rocky Raab pointed out, it was developed for the hornet.

A further development of the Hornet is the 22 K Hornet wildcat, achieved by reaming the existing Hornet rifle chamber to improved dimensions. The Hornet head spaces on the rim but I have also fire formed the case and partial neck sized, crimped the neck tryed various powder and bullets. The Hornet case was developed in the 1930s from a black powder cartridge and should be dead since the 221 Fireball came out. As a result, all .22 Hornet loads for the 14th manual were shot with CCI 500 primers. Alliant 2400 is a good powder for reduced velocity jacketed bullet loads in a Hornet. 2400 is an excellent magnum pistol powder. I use small pistol primers. You can get maybe 500 reloads from a pound of powder, making it a very cheap round to load. I use 2400 for my 22 Hornet loads, I'm loading 7.0 grs of 2400 behind a 40 gr moly coated Nosler Varmagedden bullet.
