Does anyone have any load info for the Taurus Raging Bee (218 Bee). I've tried 12.5 to 13.5gr of H-Li'l Gun but see signs of high pressure. Thanks | ||

Simple!!! If you have too much pressure just back off the powder charge. Lyle "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. I would remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." Barry M Goldwater. | |||

What pressure signs have you noted? What bullets are you loading? According to Hodgdon's Lil Gun load data for 40gr bullets 12.5 is a low pressure (26,500 cup) load and their max load of 14.0 gives 37'400cup. Your loads are within this range as long as you are using 40 bullets. I've never loaded the Bee for a revolver, but I do load it for a Ruger #1. Best results I've had with this rifle is 13.3grs H110 and 40gr Vmax's, nice load, accurate, no signs of high pressure. | |||

The high pressure signs are: Cratered primers that will not let the cylinder rotate and stuck cases in cylinder. I used Winchester brass (new trimed to 1.345); CCI SR primmer; 12.5 gr L'il Gun; 40gr V-Max. Thanks | |||
