Raging Bee
Does anyone here have ay experience with the Taurus Raging Bee.
I have a new one, about two months old with a 2.5 to 8x scope.
It shoots paterns like a shotgun no mater what I feed it.
Five inches at 100M is about the best it will do.

If your gunsmith/dealer offers a warranty on his guns, have him take a look at it.

Taurus has the absolute best warranty in the business and will fix whatever is wrong no questions asked.

You would be surprised at how well a quality revolvers can shoot. I have a Ruger Blackhawk 30 carbine that shoots under 2" at 100 yards if I do my part.

Not to be an axx...but how well can you shoot at 100 yds. with a handgun. The gun may be more than capable. Are you using handloads or factory stuff ?

check the barrel to make sure it's got rifling... my friend got a taurus 44 magnum back in the early 80's and it was a smooth bore as they had forgotten to rifle the barrel..... he had him self a 6" shot gun an it didn't group worth a damn with boolets.........

From a rest I have shot under two inches with my Blackhawk stainless hunter. I have been only shooting handloads in the Bee. 40 gr, 45 gr 50 gr 52 gr. The best (5inch) were with 40 gr blitzking and H110.

If you want a good bullet to try, use the Winchester 46 gr. HP.

I use them in a Mashburn Bee and they work great.

Plus they are really cheap.
