I am looking for Cast bullet loads for the .218 Bee.

I have some 45 gr. RNGC that i wnat to try and see if they will shoot.

What I am looking for is powder, start load and max load for the powder.

All my loading manuals are in storage, and i can't get to them.  
The Wolf Publishing Pet Loads series has loads.

Try 4.0-5.0gr. Red Dot and see if that doesn't work well. Make sure you get all the copper out of that bore first.

It's great stuff! Works in dang near anything from Hornet to .416 Rigby. You'll find a use for it, I'm sure!
