I am purchasing a Ruger 77/22 in 22 Hornet. (stainless, heavy barrel, laminated stock) I am told that this round is a bit difficult to reload.

I bought 200 pieces of WW brass, 1lb of Hodgeson "Lil-gun" powder, 100 Sierra 45gr Hornet bullets and 100 Hornady V-Max 40 gr bullets. I'm planning to use CCI small pistol magnum primers and a charge of approximately 13grns. of Lil-gun under the 40 grainers. I'm told this is a recipie for success.

Anyone here reload for this caliber? I'd appreciate any pointers you may have.

BTW, I'll be using Lee Collet dies.
