A-Mike,

I don't shoot it too much and have not experienced any problems. I can well see how this could happen, though.

My Hornet insert was a full length. I let it go with a nice drilling like the fool I am...

Now I am trying to buy it back from the drilling buyer...he won't budge; the little Hornet is a tack driver.

The 22 WMR does all I need it to do, however. It is much easier to carry in the field when not inserted!!! It is the longer version Kreighoff insert...not a full length, but about 12" long.
