Mashburn Bee
http://www.saubier.com/forum/picture...pictureid=1055 http://www.saubier.com/forum/picture...pictureid=1053 http://www.saubier.com/forum/picture...pictureid=1054 I have been a Mashburn Bee fan for 40 + years had a nice Sako L-46 Douglas BBL Bishop stock butt some SOB stole it 20+ years ago. Since then I have had several Hornets/K-Hornets but they did not fill the spoi I looked, looked ,and then looked some more to find a replacement found a bunch of Martini's but no bolt actions. Found this Cooper 38 and here are the results 5 shots 100 YDS one with Sierra 40 BK the other with 40 V-Max both with CFE-Black The 10 shot FF was done with the False shoulder much like is done on the 6 Dasher Jim Last edited by Hippy; 06-11-2018 at 08:17 PM. |

Lots of cool stuff comes from Bee’s
Dan C used to have a Mashburn Bee and eventually developed the Killer Bee line.I am glad your find worked out so well.I hope you can get some varmints with it soon.

Excellent shooting - the Sierra 40HP's were also very accurate in my high vel. Hornet, as were the 40gr. Varminators by Barnes. The Vmaxes shot well (sub-1/2"), but the others were better for me.
In my .218Bee Ruger, the 40gr. BK's were the best.

Good shooting........... One of my most accurate Cooper rifles is a Model 38 chambered in 218 M Bee.

My Cooper 38 in .218 MB likes the 50 gr. Vmax with H4198. I couldn't get anything lighter to shoot at all? I feel like it is an issue of the bullet length rather than weight. I have some lead free Noslers that are lighter in weight but still a bigger longer bullet I need to try out to see if my suspicions are right.

The factory Target from my Cooper 38 shows a 40 Grain(I believe Sierra BK) with a load of 1680 pushing it. And it is seriously the TIGHTEST Cooper Test Target I've ever seen. I am hoping that I can reproduce that load because it certainly is a shooter!!!!
