22 Hornet Questions

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

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.
