25 K Hornet in a pistol length barrel.

[Kylongrifle]

Just wondering if anyone is shooting this round in a handgun and how well you like this one.
I have a 13" Gary Reeder barrel in 240 Banshee that should be here any day. I have some 58 grain V max and 2400, IMR 4227, and AA1680 to work with for load development.

I don't currently have a chronograph but was hoping for the 2,000 fps velocity mark. Is this achievable out of a 13" barrel.

What bullet and powder combos are your go to for this round?

I will be putting this one in my arsenal for groundhog and crow duty along side my 22 Hornet and 17 Squirrel.

Thanks

Mike

Gary's manual shows from a 12" barrel a 240 Banshee with a 55 grain bullet at 2178 with 4227 and 2515 with H110
