You reckon that load will get Poobs salivating...??
Well, it's not a .223AI, but even littler...😎
Minimalist stunt shooting, pushing the "little is better" envelope.
How could he one up that?

I am pleased to report my Ruger .218 Bee has a 1 in 14" barrel. That makes things different...

With a .17 Louisiana guy killed a nice buck with a .204. Then admitted it. Got in a heap of trouble. .22 cal is min legal caliber. So, unless the state he's hunting in is different than LA, he'd better not try that... DF

LOL, I've thought about using my hornet, but at 45 grs, I'm 10 short of the state minimum iirc.

You guys keep the k-hornet tips coming.I have been searching for a good load in my 21" MGM barrel. I have been using cci small pistol primers(LilGun and 296,1680) and may have to try some 450's. Do you put a light crimp on them? Seems I am getting better results with partial neck sizing??? Shooting 40gr v-max and b-tips.

What bullet you gonna try Tex? Well for varmints I'll try the 50gr Vmax and Ballistic Tips. But I bet it will work with the 53 TSX, too. Oh yeah, it may have the best wood of any of my #1's

No crimp here Ken, just lil-gun with the 450's and 45 gr tsx's, I know a coyote isn't a hardy animal, but he was at least three feet long, little bullet went through him length ways.

I too have a #1 in 218 Bee. I use 40gr VMax and 12.2 grs of H110. Very accurate.

Oh yeah, it may have the best wood of any of my #1's That's about as nice as wood gets on factory #1's. Seems the older red pad guns may have had better wood than the newer ones. That one looks like a black pad. Here's a .220 Swift that I subsequented traded. I think yours is pretty close. DF

Arrrgghhh...that may be my "grail Swift" 25 years ago I was living in Dallas, and would drive through San Angelo on the way to my deer lease. I'd stop at a gun shop there. For several months I'd drool over a Swift like that one, jaw dropping wood, but never had the money to buy it. The one time I drop in with the money, ready to buy it of course it was gone. I've always wondered what became of it, referring to it as my "grail Swift". How did it shoot? This is the other side of the Bee, it is also very good All this of course has nothing to do with K Hornets

Shot great. I did free float the forearm, glass bedded to the hanger, installed a Kepplinger trigger before they got so expensive.
I wasn't using it, traded it for a super .257R custom that's a keeper. The new owner is happy, I'm happy.
