Does anyone have load data for a 218 mashburn bee shooting 40gr 50gr varmint bullets?
I'm now in Western Australia and unable to find any Hodgon lil gun powder.
I can only buy Wincester,Alliant or ADI powders.
What powder do you think is best W296,2400,AR2205 or AR2207?
I read that W296 works well in a Hornet ,K-Hornet but what about the Bee?
Advice much appreciated.

Thanks Hutzpah

My best load for an old Kimber of Oregon bee was 13.5 grains of AA1680 or Win 680 with the 45 grain hornet bullets... worked like a charm... accuracy was amazing!

Have 2 Martinis done up in 218 mash.

Best combo is the cheap 46gr Winchester Hp and H4227.

I basically use 221 FB data and back off a little bit.

I have tried RL7 with mixed results, but if you haven't tried H4227, you've been missing out.

I've had very good results with H110 and RE7. 296 and H110 are very close to each other in burn rate.
