WTB or WTT Hornady 45 bee bullets

[GLWenzl]

Or any flat nosed bullet for a tube fed 218 Bee.

I should have some you can have. I just started reorganizing my reloading benches, so everything is packed up right now. I'll let you know in about a week.

Also, have you looked into the Winchester 46 grain HPs? They are used in their ammo and are pretty cheap, the last time I looked.

[GLWenzl]

Sounds good Eric and I’ll have some sort of a trade pacts jags for you that you can use.

I have not but will check it out. I have been considering the 40 gr TCM bullet also?

If you can find them the Speer 46 gr flat point shoot very well in my Marlin.

May I ask how many your looking for? I have some that are feed to a Browning 65.

[GLWenzl]

I don’t really have a number in mind, as many as I can afford or trade for. I only have 4 boxes left and after owning a Browning 65 for a year now just realized that I don’t have that many bullets. My son Taylor and I made a father son purchase 65 & 53, only he got a high grade and mine was plain jane but did come with peep sights.

If you are needing yours for your 65, I would hand onto them if I was you. But I do appreciate you checking in.

I was going after someone who may already have them but do use them anymore.

I learned many years ago that depending on how many rifles shoot a particular bullet, I like to keep a min of 10 boxes on hand. That said 10 boxes will last a lot longer in this 65 than say a 17 Hornet or my AR-15 20 Practical...

This is like cutting my own throat but I want you all to be aware especially Eric who has graciously let me know he has some hornady Bee bullets. And then again maybe your mileage will vary...

The Hornady 45 gr Bee bullet is not one to get rid of if you happen to have a 22hornet or 22kh that you would want more out of. I have one 22 hornet not a great shooter. Couldn’t reach the land with anything but a hornady 45 gr bee bullet (with the bullets I had on hand and wanted to use.

Well buy working up a load with the bullet to the lands (my absolutely last resort) the 22 hornet shot much butter. Plus it has a canalure to crimp into. It might not make a difference but I seem to think that I get a better or more consistent crimp (with all things being equal like trim length)

Anyhow I use it in a 22KH and a 22 hornet.

I was wrong, I have maybe 5-1/2 boxes left.

Also Eric I did order in a bunch of the Winchester bullets ($11 and change). I have 4 factory loaded rounds that came with my 65. I might disassemble one just for fun to see what is inside... thanks for the tip and I still am looking for 5-10+ boxes of those hornady bee bullets

May not be worth your while but I have 65 Hornady 45 grain HP BEE bullets that need a home.

[david s]

I have on hand 8 (100) count of the Speer and a four count boxes of the Hornady on hand, not much over your ten count minimum. I use my model 65 after the grass gets to tall as a walking rifle for picking off gophers when they climb up on rocks later in the season. If you get jammed up I can spare a couple of boxes.

[Eric Mayer]

The Winchester 46 grain bullets I use have a massive hollow-point. No cannelure though. I've got partials of these you can have. Text me your address again:
