I got hold of a gunsmith Down in Cedar rapids and this is his quote for converting my hornet to the K hornet configuration.$130 for the reamer(he keeps it) $80 to do the change over + $20 per hour shop time(estimated at 3 hours reaming and polishing).As I am more than satisfied with the performance of the stock hornet I can't really justify the added expense for such a minor upgrade in velocity.The loads I have worked up are well within pressure limits for the hornet(12.8grs of Li'l gun 40gr HPBT) at around 2750 fps and 27,000 cups.This round is capable of MOA at 150 yds and is devastating on Ground hogs and Feral cats.I am in the process of working up a load for the 35gr V-max for pigeon shooting on the farms around here.If anyone has a load for the 35gr please pass it along.Thanks for all the help and advice it is greatly appeciated good luck and good shooting ELMOUSMC
