Dude I wish I could go across the pond to either europe or aus. In canada the round is just not popular at all. Youre hard pressed to find box ammo. Hard to find rifles. You guys seem to have more luck with that

Why convert the 22 hornet

Es heißt Weihrauch! Was ist daran so schwer? WEIHRAUCH 😅😊

Is that a Left Handed action?

mind you, those cheap rifles, like Stirling, Norinco, Bruno copy eg puma they are called now, with match ammo shoot as accurate. the old Lithgow's shoot great too, old bsa sportsman 5s, long barrels shoot inconsistent ammo more consistent than a short barrel. not many people can fork out a grand or more to shoot. if you have the cash, its a life time rifle for sure. but the price of ammo alone is way way too dear., in 2024.

I have a Ruger #3 in .22 hornet, and it is a tack driver. Extremely accurate. I have considered converting it to the K. It was my late wife's favorite rifle to shoot. The Hornet has been around since 1930!

The K hornet addresses the major flaw of the hornet: the stretching of the shallow sloped necks of the cases when reloading.

Very good video. Thank you.😊

.235 K Hornet is the ticket actually

My Savage 40 loves the 40 vmax with lil gun. 2900 fps from the std case

how is it holding up after 3 years?

😂😂 my brother in christ that was the funniest product description ive ever heard, got a like from me in the first 40 seconds, great content too no bs 👌

Unfortunately, the mystic concoctions you speak of, such as 2205 and Li’l Gun are pie in the sky these days. May as well use dried out Unicorn tears. Seriously though, I’m trying 2207 and I’ve discovered Vihtavuori N-110 in my Hornet. A pound of the N-110 costs about the same as a kilo of ADI, but you use bugger all of it, so it will stretch out a bit: swings and roundabouts. The N-110 does seem to have a little bit more “zip” than the 2207, and it’s showing some promise in my Zastava M-85 Hornet, particularly with 40 grain V-Max and 45 grain Speer Spitzers. I’m currently waiting for my Anschutz Hornet to come back from the Gunsmith as a K-Hornet, and we’ll try both those powders there too. Interesting times…

Locking tabs - my mechanic mate showed me that he uses multigrips. Works really well. Good, relaxing videos. I'm encouraged to do my spare TTR engine that I received in bits.

Thanks for your insight into the Lithgow 101. Just wondering if you could help me decide between that particular rifle and a Weihrauch HW66. I intend getting a Lithgow 102 in 6.5 Creedmoor and thought a .22 in the same configuration would be handy as a trainer for the 6.5 to develop good technique but am torn between the 101 and the HW66. I know you have both and would appreciate your thoughts between the two. Cheers

What kind of accuracy do you get from 22 hornet rounds.shooting out of the k hornet.

What was your twist rate on your barrel.

Nice! I have the same saw. Got it around 2010(?), still runs great.

I like the 22 Hornet. I have a k hornet rifle. Old 1915 single shot action . Drop block Stevens. With a martini cadet 22 barrel. My hornet is the short case chamber. Made short for revolver cylender lingth. Not as hot as the standard 22 k hornet. I will chanber for a revolver next.

My Zastava M-85 is a 1:16 twist. It seems to like the 35 Grain V-Max, and it doesn’t mind the 40 Grainers as well as the 45 grain Speer soft points. 50 grain Speer TNT Hollow Points we’re all over the shop, as were the Speer 33 Grain Hollow Points. Got an Anschutz 1434 that’s getting the “K” treatment as we speak. The 33’s will be used to fire form some brass, but I’ll just do some factory PPU ammo, as it’s just as cheap. Can only load with ADI 2207, as those other substances they speak of, like 2205 and Li’l Gun, are pure sorcery and totally unavailable. I’ll give the 50’s a go in the “K”, but I’m not overly confident.

Picked up one of these. First 500 cci standard. Once zeroed 9 and ten rings all afternoon on olympic targets at 50. Its a really good rifle

Hi . I have a ruger 1 in 22 k. Have some questions.. do you have an email address?

I assume you're Australian, thank you for using yards and not meters. Good day mate.

I am arriving three years after this was posted. I bought a Lithgow LA101 in .22lr, Titanium Ceracote with walnut stock, six years ago. I use it to compete in my local Benchrest competition in "hunter class". We shoot alongside the "target class" with their fancy rifles that cost 7 to 10 times the price of the Lithgow. Not only do I come home with a medal every time except the first day I competed and a day last year when I was unwell, most of my medals are gold. All bar three of the others are silver and those three are bronze. On several occasions, I have outscored the fancy "target" rifles. I currently use a ZeroTech Thrive HD scope. Brilliant setup and it makes me look good.

ANSCHUTZ?????

Got a whole bunch of brass bits in our house - cabinet handles etc. All looking a bit sad. Thinking of getting one of these to save me a few hours on the buffing wheel

G'day. I'm up in Cairns. Building a K Hornet on a ZKW465 at the moment. I've never in my life seen Lil Gun for sale up here. W296 is also excellent aparrently but rare as rocking horse poo. Hopefully I can get 2205 to work OK. Cheers for the video.

Heading this way now, so this is great information. I’ll be loading the standard Hornet with ADI 2207 powder, and I intend to load the K-Hornet with the same powder and projectiles. Is there any difference in accuracy using a standard Hornet loading loaded into a K-Hornet case?

Any chance of an update on your thoughts on the 325 build. Im about to big bore my TTR. I'm tossing up between this 325 jut or the Total TTRs 350 kit. It's a big spend from the UK to qld. Thanks

Thanks for a great review. I bought one today in .22LR. I'm not familiar with the brand, hence happy to see you like this rifle. Happy hunting.

November 2023: .22 Hornet is from 1920s. Longer ago than thought, it seems. K Hornet around 1940 according to an article by Dave Cambell. I do have a Ruger 77/22 in Hornet, and I am tempted to rechamber to K configuration. Haven't yet as one cannot go back. I must get it out to the range more. But it is currently too cold and I tend to be side tracked easily. I have done the trick of firing a cartridge in a slightly different chamber to alter the shape a bit. In the U. S., this is known as 'fire-forming' for what I hope is obvious. I would recommend annealing the case down, just past the anticipated shoulder as it helps forming without over working the brass. I really think I should start looking for a proper gunsmith for this job.

I think your videos would be better served. If he didn’t have all that music playing in the background you are very hard to hear with all that going on so when you decide to make a video without music, let it let me know.

The music in the background makes it hard to hear what you’re talking about. I would definitely shut it off!

Any more updates on this 3yrs later

😂

Made in japan, not in china ! Like some stihl cheap models...

Болтун

My favourite projectiles were Winchester 45 grn JHP loaded with L'LL Gun and small pistol primers Now we cant get powder etc . I think the k is a goer for me

Very Kool with a "k"! lol Very interesting about just firing a regular hornet shell to create the (birth) K Hornet shell. I did not know that and it adds weight in a tough decision to convert my 22 Hornet. 22H was the First caliber rifle I ever shot a deer with back in the 80s. Dropped it on the spot as well. First memory of a great hunt with the parents and other relatives. (I was the youngest) Took me a long time to find a 22 Hornet as the owner of that particular little rifle wouldn't part with it as it's been with him since his time over seas. Anyway, my hornet is strictly for trapping and fur bearing animals but also target practice. The scarcity of brass let alone factory loads got me into reloading, which as you said Is fun! (some of my fam don't realize that yet though haha) Long story short... thank you for the excellent vid. You got me closer to thinking I should convert my 22 Hornet... without worry of doing more harm then good. :)

A far better media separator is the Hornady Rotary Shifter - ua-cam.com/video/X7Bl5PmsFqo/v-deo.html

I jus bought one second hand abosoulte smashing rifle

Good video. Thanks for sharing. I thought the same thing about the on / off switch. Then I read most of the sheet that came with it, and discovered that it isnt an on / off switch at all, it is a one direction / reverse switch. In the left (1) position, the tumbler rolls one way and then switches direction.

Excellent, I'm taking mine to the gunsmith tomorrow for a 'K' job

I have had a 22 hornet for 40 years I reloaded my own shells to when I was 15 years old mine is centre of the Target at 50 yards 3/4 inch higher at 100 yards and back to dead nuts on 150 yd I don't know why you'd want to change a rifle like that

Great video thanks👍 I am looking at converting a Anshutz 22Hornet to 22k, do you know if I can reload 22k with the Lee Classic hand loading set? I can't seem to find a hand loading set for the 22 K but there is sets for the 22Hornet. Or will I be able to use the same set for both?

Have 3 lithgows 22 single shot 223 la102 laminate stock 308 la102 poly stock next 22 22magnum love em Australian made best

Watched a guy on the weekend fireform to k hornet went well.

Great content but where’s part 6 please. 🙏🏻

Aussie Ttr mod rebuild content awesome work. 👍

I’ve a .22 LR HW60j - it was my first rifle and I love the thing so much I’ve had it bedded into a custom laminate stock from Form riflestocks ❤️
