Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .218 Bee Ammo for Sale
What is a 218 Bee comparable to?
The .218 Bee compares most directly to the .22 Hornet. Both are vintage varmint cartridges with light recoil, suitable for small game out to 250 yards. The Bee edges the Hornet slightly in velocity, pushing 45-grain bullets around 2,750 fps, but the Hornet has better ammunition availability today.
How fast is a 218 Bee?
Factory loads drive 45-grain bullets to approximately 2,750 fps, giving the .218 Bee roughly 100 fps more velocity than the .22 Hornet. Effective on varmints and small game to about 200 yards, it produces minimal recoil.
What is a 218 Bee good for?
The .218 Bee is suited for varmint hunting and small game, effective on prairie dogs, rockchucks, and similar targets out to roughly 250 yards. Its light recoil makes it pleasant to shoot. Winchester introduced it in 1938 as a low-recoil option for hunters.
What caliber is 218 Bee?
.218 Bee fires .224-inch-diameter bullets. Winchester introduced it as a compact varmint cartridge with lineage tracing back through the .25-20 Winchester case, which itself descended from the .32-20 Winchester.
Who makes 218 bee ammo?
Winchester and Hornady manufacture .218 Bee ammunition. Winchester has loaded it in their Super-X line since 1922. Hornady reintroduced factory loads when Winchester's supply became scarce. Hendershot's also produces custom .218 Bee ammunition, giving rifle owners additional sourcing options.
What is the recoil like on a 218 Bee rifle?
The .218 Bee produces minimal recoil, roughly 0.56 foot-pounds of energy with typical factory loads. This makes it comfortable for extended shooting sessions and suitable for shooters sensitive to recoil. It works well for varmint hunting and plinking without causing fatigue.
