What is the difference between a K Hornet, a KE Hornet and a Niedner Hornet? Is one "better" than the others?

  5mmgunguy,
  
  The K-Hornet is obviously the Kilbourn Hornet.
  
  The KE-Hornet is also known as the Short Hornet:
  .22 KE Hornet (from .22 Hornet case)
  .22 Hornet Short
  (5,7 x 35,4 R)
  
  The Niedner version is improved with a 25 degree shoulder.
  
  Best.
  
  ADDED:
  
  5mmgunguy,
  
  I forgot the second part of your post...
  
  I prefer the K-Hornet with the 40 degree shoulder because that's the reamer I have and it works great. But the reality is that any of the 'improved' shoulders will work better than the original design, the 40 degree is just a pinch more efficient.
  
  Best.
