I have loaded the 22hornet with AA-1680 with good resualts.
I then loaded some Lilgun using 11.0 grs and 45gr speer (.224) bullets with my rem brass and fed 205 primers. My three manuals show win brass and differing min/max charges. I thought I was modest but 3000fps was the chornyed velocity. 3100fps for the same setup with 40gr blitzkings that seat deeper. no sticky bolt or case an only slightly cratering if any its a CZ527 that real hammers the primer deep with factory ammo too.
I called Hodgon and they say 12.0 is there starting load! 12.0 is max or very close in my other manuals.
Does anyone use rem brass and lilgun for their hornet? I choose rem because it holds more powder. Was this under loaded? You can see why I am hesitent to add 1-2grs more powder.
That load was 11.0grs Lilgun, fed 205, rem brass, 45gr speer hornet (224). And at 1.740" oal which gave me .020 off the lands.
