A solution to the loose primer pockets and flimsy brass on the 22 hornet would be using 327 fed mag instead. Much thicker brass, a little higher pressures, and much more case capacity, too. The brass is readily available from starline, unlike 22 hornet. It achieves all of this with a wider body, but because the rim diameters are similar, it doesn’t reduce cylinder capacity.
Of course, this would require a rechamber.
