I'm having trouble finding load data for 218 Bee cast boolits. I have boolits sized to .225 with gas checks that weigh at 57 grains. They were cast with an RCBS mold 22 055. Anyone load gas checked boolits of this weight? I need help with load recommendations.

Never loaded that boolit in my 218 Bee.I have used the noe 37 gr. 225107 and the Noe 45 gr. 225-45 WFN boolit.Both boolit shoot good in my rifle with their favorite powder charges. My rifle has a 1-14 inch twist what is yours.....Terry

I did a quick search with Google custom search, using just "218", There wasn't a lot of threads with Data, but there are some. ...

This one was pretty good.

Lyman number 3 has some data but for a 45gr boolit not a 55gr boolit.
if you find some data for the 22 hornet you can use it in the BEE.
the larger case capacity will just slow things down 25 fps or so.
