.218 Bee Ballistics Chart:

The .218 Bee rifle cartridge is an older cartridge dating back to the 1930s that utilizes a .22 caliber bullet, and is so named because of the bore diameter of the rifle that shoots it.

It was originally chambered in the Model 65 Winchester, and never really caught on.

Here are a couple ballistic charts for this little cartridge.

This .218 Bee ballistics chart shows 45 grain Hornady HP Rounds.

Not many stores carry .218 Bee because it is an obscure rifle cartridge. However, Sportsman’s Guide seems to have the best price on it, and if you do some digging there are a few others.

If you want to see the rest of our rifle ballistics chart, there are many more calibers on it.
