Some thing to compare. Sounds like no extra charge for the "cheek piece"

218 Bee Ruger
Interesting cartridge.
I have owned four #1s, 2 22PPC, a 223, and a 22H. Except for the hornet, all were heavy barrel. I could not get them accurate enough to suit my liking. Sold all and swore off them. My experience is on a good day 1.5" groups, and there are not many good days. Secondly, holding zero is an issue. |

My #1B Ruger shot exceptionally well with 35gr. vmax to 150yards only- they became inaccurate past that range.
40gr. Vmax and 40gr. Nosler BT's held their accuracy right to 400yards. They were terrific. I experimented with Barnes X bullets in 50 and 53gr. weights and was able to keep them into .750" normally. They were running in the .222 range of speeds for similar weight bullets. I will say right now, I could not beat 3,000fps in that rifle with AA1680 & 50gr. bullets, but LG did it easily + 300fps - I do not know why - it did it and without hurting the brass one iota. They had to be hot, but the #1 seemingly, did not care. The same loads with 50gr. Hornady SP's shot an inch only so I didn't use them. I also ran 55gr. Vmax and they also shot just under an inch. I think the 14" twist was on the verge of inaccuracy with those & I did not shot them past 100meters. I got speeds with all bullet weights from that 26" Ruger .218Bee that I can not duplicate with my Sako .222- go figure. That .218Bee, with .218Bee brass and it's .408" rim diameter, is some strong brass. My rifle had an exceptionally long chamber neck. I NEVER had to trim a case and never lost one to a separation nor primer pocket expansion. I only ever sized 1/2 the neck. My Ruger had a tight chamber, dimensionally, except for the neck length. - On the other hand, Ken Waters had separations every 3 to 4 reloadings - in all 3 of .218Bee's with loads in the factory realm and under - he noted in Pet Loads he could not stop his brass from stretching and needing to be trimmed often, then they separate - wonder why? Sounded like headspace along with sloppy chambers to me. Ruger .218Bee's rule the .218 Bee's roost. Mine, Bob's and Gary's - I think there was one more here as well. A letter in Tod Kindler's varmint magazine made me buy the Ruger. I was able to work up to and just barely duplicate those loads listed, but backed off to 3,650fps with those 40's. Yeah - scary.
