The .218 Bee cartridge was designed by Winchester for use in their Model 65 lever-action rifles. Winchester designed the cartridge by necking down the .25-20 Winchester cartridge to accept a .224 diameter bullet. Just as the .32-20 can be considered to be the parent cartridge of the .25-20, it can also be considered the parent cartridge to the ...
The .25-20 Winchester cartridge is simply a necked-down version of the .32-20. [4] In addition, the .218 Bee was created using the .32-20 as its parent cartridge. The .32-20 cartridge case has been used to create usable ammunition for the Nagant M1895. This is accomplished by removing .01" from the rim thickness and sizing the case in a ...
A few Model '92s chambered for .218 Bee were produced in 1936–38. [3] Rifles in .44-40 proved to be most popular, far outstripping sales of the other chamberings. The Winchester Models 53 (1924) and 65 (1933) were relabeled Model 1892s.

It was first chambered in Model 1889 lever action Marlins long before Winchester did the same thing and put their name on the .25-20. [2] While the SAAMI pressure rating is a full 28,000 CUP, modern ammunition is often loaded lighter in deference to the weaker steels used on many of the original guns. The early black powder cartridges were ...
It is a 30-30 Winchester cartridge necked down to a .22 caliber bullet. Marlin Firearms also offered their Marlin Model 336 rifle (Marlin 336 Zipper) chambered for the cartridge. While the .219 Zipper was supposed to compete against other varmint cartridges of the time, most lever-action rifles use tubular magazines, which prohibit the use of ...
