    The mighty little 218 Bee,
    and the other two rounds
    from this casing,the 25-20,
    and the 32-20.

    I once attempted
    to fire a 222 rifle

    the recoil from
    this massive round
    rocked my 5-11
    255 lb(at the time)frame
    into submission.[:0]

    The shock of it all
    still haunts me to this day...[V][:(]

    ...never again shall I
    venture into such deep waters.[V]

    .218


    I'm assuming this is a joke.[:)]


    Sir,I was in fear
    for my life!

    when I finaly came to,
    after my life partner
    poured water on my face,
    I picked myself up from
    the ground,my ears ringing,
    hair disheveled,I thought
    my clavical was broken.[B)]

    I feel a spell of
    virtigo,and a panic
    attack coming on
    just remembering
    the whole messy affair.[:(]

    Wimp... I am willing to bet that you wear a Pink Tutu when you go out shooting[}:)][:0][:D] Remind me to never offer or let you shoot one of my 222 Rem Mag rifles[;)].

    Don't worry, you can come shoot a 22lr with me all you want untill you calm down.

    I can't really call any of 'em a "favorite". I've got 22lr to 44mag. It just depends on the reason I'm shooting it. I'd probably rank the 270WSM at the bottom of the rounds I own, just because I'm disappointed in it's lack of superiority over the .270 Win.

    218beekeep - I have to tell you. Your "life partner" has been pulling one over on you. She CLOCKED you with a pre 64 in 30-06, because your "life partner" could see that you enjoyed this hobby immensely and it would continue to cost you AND the "life partner" more and more money. Your "life partner" recognized this by the look on your face after shooting and TOOK ADVANTAGE of the situation and a healthy stock from the Winchester.

    Sorry bud, but that is really what happened.

    I suppose that a 225 Win or 220 Swift is way out of the question too[?] In comparison, the triple-duece Mag is a real ice cream-cat[;)][8D]

    Dang nanny program got me... susbstitue p.u.s.s.y.-cat for ice cream-cat[V]

    No,I can't play this silly
    crap anymore..I love the 225 win,
    the 250-sav is my fave.
    I prefer it's baby,the 22-250
    over the swift,only cause of
    the efficiancy...the way I
    prefer the 243 over the 6-mm
    same reason.

    The swift and the 6 mm can
    slightly go faster but with
    a longer casing...and more powder.[8D]

    Do I sound more like a man now?

    Yep![:D] Another very neat cartridge is the .219 Zipper when loaded for a single shot rifle[^]

    I like the .22lr just because you can spend $10 and shoot for hours with both rifles and handguns. For handguns (other than .22) I think my favorite is the .40. Rifles would be .223. My "life partner" (aka: wife, boss, war chief, etc) recently bought me a dillion 550 thinking it would cut down the cost of ammo. What she didn't realize was that it is not going to cut down on the amount of money spent, it only increases the time spent at the range.[:D]
