Hornets with Jacketed bullets can be frustrating. My experience dictates , that you must drink when you shoot cast bullets in a Hornet. Anything to kill the pain. Ever pinch a finger seating a bullet. I have tried the Lyman 225438 and never gotten anything better than 3"-4" inches @100. I used Lil Gun. However, it is fun to take on a challenge.
