    The only headache cartridge I've had the "pleasure" of loading for is the Hornet. Part of the issue was the POS Ruger it was being shot it in but even then, the need to shag about with multiple projectiles, loads and crimping was something you can do without. Actually, that brings me to the .44-40: super thin brass and crimping is an unforgiving combo. Very easy to kill those cases..
