Description
The Hornady 218 Bee 45gr HP load is built for shooters who want more from their .218 Bee than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 45 grain hollow point to a rated 2750 feet per second, producing about 756 foot-pounds of energy. Varmint Express ammunition is built around the V-MAX bullet, whose polymer tip and thin jacket produce rapid, explosive expansion on prairie dogs, groundhogs, coyotes and other varmints, with the accuracy needed for small targets at long range.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 218 Bee 45gr HP until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
