WTB 218 Bee brass

[JECulver]

Does anyone have any they want to part with?

I have owned and shot several different guns in this caliber. They are a fun and great caliber. The down side I have found is that the brass has a weak point just above the base. If it has been fired in an older rifle the case swells at the base and will split in as little as three reloads. I would suggest that you buy new brass to reload and fit the chamber of your rifle. I have chambered a few guns to an improved shoulder and have had better luck with the brass. I do have a feww peices of brass if you can't find any.

You can neck down 32 20 brass to 218B and fire form it. that's is how the origanal wild cat 218B was invented. Now find some 32 20 brass????
You can buy new 218B brass from Midway or some of the other reloading suppliers. I have owned and loaded 218B for many years fun caliber. good luck

32-20 brass necked down will be too short.

My 218 is a Mashburn, but I can look and see if I have any standard cases at home.

Graf's has it in stock
