This is posted on the lever forum but thought I'd mention it here in case anyone missed it. Midway has Hornady 218 Bee brass in stock. Not cheap but this is the first I've seen in a couple of years.

Thanks, i'll tell my friend about that. He'll be happy !!
I saw "219" and hoped it was Zipper !
I noticed I did that right after I posted but couldn't figure out how to change it. I figured I was instantly making some Wasp and Zipper enemies!Originally Posted by richmanpoorman
God bless Hornady for making the old caliber brass again. Now if they'd start making of .25-20 I'd be pleased.
A friend ordered 2 box's of the Bee brass yesterday. I E-mailed him after I saw it mentioned here. Thanks guy's, he's happy to find it !!
I've necked up and blown out .218 Bee brass to make .25-20 WCF. Very few case failures and the resultant .25-20s are noticeably longer-lived for reloading than normal .25-20 shells.
