What do you have chambered in 218 bee???
I keep an eye open for a Browning 65 or a Win 43.
You know how it goes... The hunt is more than the kill and that is a big part of my gun collection

And if people need info on BP loading let me know, I have only been doing it for a little while, but it is lots of fun.


Lets see, what I can reload for at the moment.... since I am at work this is off the top of my head

.223
30-20 & 32-20 (Same thing but one uses a .308 bullet)
6.5mm TC/U
7x57
30-06
.41 Mag
.45 ACP
45-70
12ga

I think that is all I am doing anymore, the ones I didn't use anymore I gave to my dad.

I also cast bullets if people want pointers with that.

Who is doint the rechamber?? My local gunsmith does great work at reasonable prices but no rechambering.

Does anyone here cast bullets? I purchased a 40-65 that came with a mould but I do not cast. Need help there!

HT

Was all set up to have a local guy do the chamber till he fell and broke his hip and will be down for awhile , so i shipped it off to Wayne York , the guy Quick and Mac up in the H&R CF forum use .

He is always bizzy so it will take longer but i don't need it till spring so thats ok . as for casting i never got in to it , was less hassel to just buy cast bullets at the gun show .

I was hoping to find someone that has casting equipment and is willing to cast bullets for me using the mould that came with the rifle. It is a one cavity mould.
I am more than willing to pay a fair price. Quite possibly supply beverages as well ;D

HT,

Check them out first and see, if not it will be awhile until I cast again as I cast outside and it is getting a bit on the chilly side right now.... I need to smelt down about 800 or so pounds of lead right now, it is in my round tuit pile, but not to the top yet as I still have some ingots to use up. I need to go ahead and the next warm weekend cast up 5 or 6 hundred bullets for my 45-70 and about that many for my .41 mag.
