Would the trim length for a K Hornet be the same as the standard Hornet?

  You need to do a chamber cast on the rifle in question. The vast number of 22-K Hornets chambers were reamed by a gunsmith in his shop... I sincererly doubt that any two were reamed to the exact same length. For optimum accuracy and performance you should trim the case to -.001" of the measured chamber length.

  My case gage literature says to trim cases .024" short of measured chamber length since excessive length causes dangerous chamber pressure. K Hornet trim to length is same as Hornet if both are SAAMI, 1.393".
