.218 Bee (P.O. Ackley Data)

Warning! Notes: Standard twist: 16". The .218 Bee possesses extremely sharp body taper, and has never been too satisfactory for handloading, especially in lever action rifles, such as the Models 92 and 65, and the later Model 43. Cases have a tendency to stick, and separated heads are common after a few loads. When the .218 Bee is improved in some way, such as the Mashburn and similar versions, this tendency is greatly reduced and creates a case much more satisfactory for handloading, especially in lever action rifles, as well as single shot, and bolt action rifles. (Handbook for Shooters & Reloaders/Vol. 1 - P.O. Ackley, 1962) NOTE: USE THIS DATA WITH EXTREME CAUTION
