.218 Bee Ammo Prices

A charming 1938 oddball built on the old .25-20 case and named with the kind of whimsy the gun industry mostly abandoned decades ago. It rode in lever guns and single shots and did quiet close range varmint work back when varmint work was a genteel Sunday pursuit. The world moved on and left the Bee humming to itself in the corner.

The load runs a light 45 to 46 grain bullet in the scarce offerings that remain. Genuinely rare and priced accordingly when it appears at all. The handful of people who own these rifles buy every box they see and treasure it.
