Our Assessment: The .218 Bee is a centerfire rifle cartridge that was first introduced by Winchester in 1937. It was designed as a varmint cartridge for small game hunting, and it quickly gained popularity among hunters due to its accuracy and low recoil.
The .218 Bee is based on the .25-20 Winchester cartridge case, which was necked down to accept a .22 caliber bullet. It typically fires a 46-grain to 50-grain bullet at a velocity of around 2,700 feet per second.
The .218 Bee was designed for use in bolt-action rifles, and it is also compatible with some single-shot and lever-action rifles. It is still produced by some ammunition manufacturers today, although it is not as widely available as some other varmint cartridges.
Overall, the .218 Bee is known for its accuracy, low recoil, and flat trajectory, which makes it a popular choice among varmint hunters who demand precision and accuracy in their rifles.
