218 Bee inquiry

[theNoid]

So is anyone out there reloading the 218 rounds? I am wondering as I have put a new gun on lay-a-way (Taurus Raging Bee) and I am starting to look for reloading stuff. Seems quite limited really, but still much cheaper than buying the limited factory ammo.

I will likely go with the Hornady Bee bullets, the Winchester brass, and CCI primers but I figured I would ask here before I bought anything. Powder suggestions maybe?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

2400, H110, and H4227 were three of the most common powders used for the 218 Bee. However Hodgdon has a newer powder out "Lil Gun" that should work great with the 218 Bee. Check the Hodgdon Powder website for load data for your cartridge.
