Looking at Hodgdon data for 22 Hornet with H110. Plenty of H110 here and should be a smorgasbord of 224 bullets. Looks like fun! 30 grain 11.1-12.3 35 grain 11-12.3 40 grain 10-11.2 45 grain 9-10.4 50 grain 9-10 53 grain 8-9

Isn't Lil gun one of the powders we don't use in the FA revolvers because of forcing cone erosion? With a 22 Hornet revolver running rifle pressure I'd expect the same thing to happen here.

I'd be trying to understand why they chamfered the cylinder face. It could be because of what you speak.

I used to shoot the Hornets and K hornet a lot. Rifles and the contender. AA1680 with 50 and 52 grain bullets always worked for me. H110 was good too. For some reason I never had good results with Lilgun.

Looking through brass on the shelf.... 150 pieces of once fired 22 Hornet and 150 pieces of fire formed K Hornet... Could be a sign.
