Does anyone PP for the Hornet?
I have some left over 224 cast RCBS boolits that I have just tried to patch. I did no sizing before or after and I used rather thick tracing paper - because of its strength and the way it stretches when wet and shrinks when it dries. The final boolit was a tad tight to seat. So much so I had to use the press. The resultant cartridge was difficult to chamber due to the now expanded neck (unsized). It was loaded with a light load so I fired it! Pressure was pretty normal for the hornet - lower than my usual load but high for the charge used.
Here it is.
This boolit was somewhat oversize right to the ogive.
I've no idea how it would shoot on the range! Looking at the boolit rear section, I would say probably not well. It did not enter the bore perfectly true (or got bent during entry). On the 'dark' side, the rifling is visible right to the tail edge. Unless the rebate wasn't completely round - which is likely.
