[QUOTE="Airedale56, post: 3106585, member: 66305"] It has to be the .300 Bee /.300 BEE. I’ve read it in print about guys that extoll its virtue on big game. I know about the .218 Bee and the .218 Mashburn Bee. [ATTACH=full]572180[/ATTACH] Photo Credit Handloader Magazine But looking at the cartridge dimensions of the parent .218 Bee, [ATTACH=full]572181[/ATTACH] Credit Hornady for the drawing necking up to .308” from .224” and even running a 110 grain bullet really would drop velocity below what most bullets would need to expand. My tongue is I’m my cheek, of course. Based on my understanding of the history of Wildcatting and Nomenclature of cartridges, that should be a .300 Bee. Folks who call a .300 Weatherby (a proper name) a .300 Bee are too lazy to shorten it to .300 WBY and give the inventor his due. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
