Hi,

I am about to get my hands on a .22 Ackley Improved Hornet. I have been looking for die sets or reloading info without any luck.

I am currently looking for answers for the following questions.

1. Does this round head space on the case shoulder or is it the rim of the case?

2. What is the procedure in reloading this round. My thoughts are:

Fire form .22 Hornet
Neck size case with std .22 neck die
Throw away case after every 2 or 3 shots.

3. Is the rifle accurate firing the std hornet cartridge?

4. Is the powder info listed for the K Hornet usable for the Ackley Improved.

Thanks for any assistance.
