I currently have 2 of these but only one has been shot. The 1 that hasn't been shot is owned by my brother-in-law but is residing in my safe currently. I will be getting him started on it and have the dies. Mine is a 10" and likes 4227 and 1680. I have used nothing but Starke 20 grain bullets in it so far and it loves them. Accuracy you ask, well lets just say that the 10" barrel shoots better than I can. A guy that I know shot a 7 shot string while fireforming cases for me that measured 3/4". As far as loads, start low and work up slowly. I can't recall my hornet loads off the top of my head, they may be posted in the article called "little stinger".
