Dear Mr. Fin, Sir
If you were so inclined perhaps you would help me. I am trying to find some European brass for the 22 hornet. Yes we have no shortage of hornet brass here but there is another reason. I once had some Norma hornet brass that had much smaller flash holes than our US made brass. I am quite convinced that with my cast boolit loads which by the way are the only kind I shoot in it were more consistantly accurate with the smaller flash holes. I have contacted Norma and was told they no longer make hornet brass. I do not know for shure but think other brands made in europe may likewise have the smaller flash hole but I am having no luck on this end finding them. So my question is do you have any euro made hornet brass available where you are? If yes would it be possible for me to purchase some through you. Perhaps a box as a sample that I might find out if there is a difference between it and US made brands. I dont know how I could measure some of what I have so we could just compair notes. Perhaps you already know the answer. If not a hornet then perhaps the 5.56 Vierling ( not shure if that is right) but mean the one that is the same as the 22 wcf. I don't know if you saw the target I posted last winter, it was a nice tight little cluster of ten at 100 yards fired with my last well worn Norma cases. Many thanks for your help on this matter. I am just trying to get an edge on BS JR. he is getting tough to beat. Just our secret OK dont let him know.
