Cool...
I was looking for a Bee when I acquired my 22-30..
The 22-30 is not cast friendly..having been made on a 22rf barrel, I run hornet bullets thru it [j-word]
My 222 does cast boolit duties...No Critters moving about here just yet...cept Deers...man we got a boat load of Deers!!!!!

One of these days I'm going to get either a .218 Bee, .22 Hornet, or .25-20.

I don't need any of them but I really want one, especially one of the first two.

Encore or Contender is the easiest way to get one. MGM will make a barrel for what ever you want.

While the Bee is intriguing, and My First choice, [as well as one I still lack] The Hornet is really quite nice...I just can't warm up to that fragile Brass...Of the 22 cal Contender offerings...I still feel the 222 is the most versatile...that, includes the 221, which I simply cannot get the accuracy from...in mine anyway..

Nice one! Throw that fellow in the pressure cooker for 45 min or so then bread and fry, should be good this time of year...

I plan on using a 256win this summer to get a few groundhogs. I will be using Sierra 70 grain bullets. I have been shooting AND hitting empty shot shells on the 100 yard berm,so I will be ready. Oh yeah, this is a 14" contender!

I use a Hornet for Prairie Dog and it "stings" them real good. Lyman 438.

Temp today was 65. We have had a warm Feb.Trees are budding out and grass is starting to green up and grow.

As to the 225-45WFN it has been a good choice in the Bee. Last year I killed around 30 different varmints using that boolit and all were one shot kills.Have not tried it in my 222 yet.

it's not even 65 in the house...:lol:
