What are your recommendations for bullet and powder for reloading the 218Bee and the 256 WM?  Accuracy is more important than velocity.

You might also want to try "lil gun" powder I shot 10 groups 10shots each at 100yds at between 2600 fps to 3000 fps all of them under an inch. the best were all under 3/4 in. They were fired in a well used 1940's era Winchester HW barrel.
