Loads For The K-Hornet


Q: After reading your reply to a reader about the K-Hornet and loads using Li’l Gun powder, I recently acquired a Brno Fox and would like loads for the 30gn Sierra TNT, 35gn Hornady V-Max, 40gn Speer spire point, and 45gn Speer soft-point. I have two cans of Li’l Gun which seems to be the powder for the Hornet.

Who in NSW could rechamber my Brno Fox for the K-Hornet and supply dies?

A: With two cans of Lil Gun you have the right propellant for the K-Hornet. Loads for Li’l Gun in the K-Hornet as follows: 30gn Sierra TNT and 15gn ; 35gn V-Max and 14.5gn; Speer 40gn SP 14gn; 45gn Super SP 13.5gn; and 50gn V-Max and 13gn.

If your gun has a 600mm barrel I’d expect muzzle velocities to be around 3420fps, 3400, 3350, 3050 and 2930 respectively. But that’s just an educated guess.

I get all my gunsmithing work done by Rob Spittles in Rylstone, NSW. Mobile: 0405 511 422. You can get a licensed dealer in your town to mail the barrelled action to Rob and he can either return it to the same dealer by mail, or you can pick it up from him.

Your local gunshop should be able to get you a die set for the K-Hornet.
