Are you running a 56 grain bullet in a Hornet with 13.6 grains of 1680? Here is the AA data:
22 HORNET (0.224 Diameter Bore)
Barrel: 20” â– Twist 1-14” â– Primer: REM 6 ½ â– Bullet Diameter .224”
5744 40 NOS B-TIP 9.2 2,092 9.8 2,307 48,734 1.855
5744 40 SIE HORNET 8.7 1,943 9.7 2,208 50,740 1.715
5744 50 HDY SPSX 8.1 1,717 9.0 1,951 50,032 1.780

My guess is that load is WAY TOO HOT.
