The 218 Mashburn Bee is the coolest looking little round with the sharp shoulder. I thought really hard about it, but I couldn't find 218 Bee or 25-20 brass, so I decided to go with the 22 K-Hornet. Push the 40gr V-Max to 2900-3100fps and you have a nice 100-150 yard varmint rig,
100-150 yards?
Have shot plenty of varmints with 40 V-Maxes and 40 Nosler Ballistic Tips at those velocities from the .22 Hornet, K-Hornet and .218 Bee. The longest kill was 427 yards, and have killed hundreds at 200-300.
