A .22 Hornet bullet is typically a small, slender cartridge with a bullet diameter of about 0.224 inches. The bullet itself is often pointed (spitzer) to improve aerodynamics and is usually seated in a brass casing that is around 1.403 inches long. The casing may have a distinctive tapered shape, and the overall appearance is compact, designed for high-velocity performance in rifles. The bullet is commonly used for varmint hunting due to its accuracy and relatively low recoil.

How does one convert a 22 hornet into a 22 k-hornet?
The Kilbourne Hornet is an "improved" cartridge. The original "Hornet" was called the .22 Winchester Center Fire, was a black power cartridge and fired a lead bullet at about 1500 fps. The cartridge was first released in 1888. Some time in the early part of the last century, P.O. Ackley took a liking to the .22 WCF, married it with smokeless powerd and renamed it the .22 Hornet. Some short time later Lysle Kilbourne decided to push the shoulder forward on the cartridge and it became the K-Hornet or Kilbourne Hornet. You convert a .22 Hornet into a K-Hornet by purchasing a reamer from a company like Clymer. The reamer is a cutting tool used to reshape the chamber of the .22 Hornet into the K-Hornet shape. You should not try this operation yourself, unless you are a competent gun smith. Once your chamber has been bored using the reamer you must "fire form" your brass. The K-Hornet can fire factory .22 Hornet bullets. After firing those bullets in a K-Hornet chamber the powder capacity of the case is increased and the "improved" K-Hornet can be hand loaded to higher velocities. The cost for a reamer as I write this is about $120.00 US. The cost for a gunsmith to ream the chamber is about $80.00 US. Using a rented reamer, ($26 - $36), makes the process even more affordable. The results are worth it. :) Just did one myself today.
How do you know if you have a Stevens 22 Hornet or Long Rifle?
The answer is probably stamped on the barrel. Does it say .22 Hornet? Most likely it says .22 LR or .22 Long Rifle. Two other things: The Hornet is a center-fire cartidge, "regular" .22's, be they shorts, longs or long rifle, are rimfire, having the priming mixture in the rim of the cartridge case. Look at the firing pin and see where it is located compared to the case head. On the edge?(rimfire) or centered?(Hornet) The chamber for the .22 Hornet is larger in diameter than the .22 rimfire, as the Hornet is a bottle-necked case. A .22 rimfire case will fall down inside the chamber of a Hornet and be loose. IF YOU PUT A RIMFIRE CARTRIDGE IN AND IT FALLS DOWN IN THE CHAMBER BE SURE IT IS OUT BEFORE YOU PUT ANOTHER CARTRIDGE IN OR YOU WILL HAVE AN EXPLOSION AND PERSONAL INJURY!!! My apologies. I believe the 22 Hornet is a straight or tapered case. I was confusing it with the 25:20, which is bottle-necked. The 22 Hornet is a "bottle neck" case, the rimfire has a straight case and will fill the chamber of the Hornet.
How to distinguish 22lr to 22magnum bullet?
22 magnums actual caliber is .220. If you look at the tip of the bullet 22 mag has a sharp point. On a 22lr it is rounded and 22 mag is bigger around. Look around the rim and it will say 22 magnum or 22 lr.
What is the difference between 22 LR and 22 Hornet?
The 22 Long Rifle has different size cartridges, But the 22 Hornet has pictures of deer killed with it. The 22 Hornet is a lot more powerful than the 22 Long Rifle. They both have different grain.
What is the difference in 22 mag and 22 hornet?
A .22 Mag is a Rimfire cartridge(which means the firing pin in your gun strikes the rim of the case that only has priming compound and no powder and ignites,so its a short burst of pressure).The .22 Hornet is a Centerfired Cartridge(which means it has a primer and powder)and is more powerful due to the bullet is propelled using higher pressure for a longer amount of time...The .22 Mag is cheaper to shoot...
