I sure would love to convert this old beauty into something usable. I can only find info on the parent cartridge (22wcf). I can’t locate dies or brass in the child cartridge. I understand there’s a couple thousandths difference in bullet diameter between the Hornet and the 5.6x35r. Also the rim on the hornet is slightly thicker and that’s likely to affect extraction possibly to the point of failure. Is this fine rifle destined to obsolescence?
