Always wanted a Marlin lever-action Bee. Now that I've found one, am getting cold feet.
Also wondering if plastic-tipped bullets would be safe in the tube magazine?

Never tried plastic tips but Hornaday HP's are way more accurate than I am out of my Marlin .218

Had a Browning and the Hornady bee bullet was extremely accurate.

Agreed, and the Winchester factory bee stuff always shot great for me, sub 1 1/4" at a 100, to make my once fired brass. So I say no worries.

Good luck.

marlin makes or used to make a red or orange follower with a dimple in it that is supposed to be suited for lever evolution ammo. I guess the dimple was to catch the pointed gummy bear tipped bullets used in lever evolution ammo? anyway, I like the colored follower as it help you make the gun safe-you can see that the mag tube is empty. mel chung
