Anyone know if any Handi's have ever been made in 218 Bee?

I know a fellow that might have one for sale... If you are interested, I could PM him for you and put the two of you together?

I'm a KH guy too... Have four of them now... In Handi's that is... I also have two BRNO bolt actions in KH. I think KH is a better way to go over the Bee... That is unless you just want a Bee... Then you should get yourself one!

I have a .218 Bee,  made from a std Hornet barrel.
 
I thought abought going the K-Hornet route, but damn glad I chose a 'Bee' instead.
 
 
 
Hornet/K-Hornet brass is VERY fragile!
 
'Bee' brass is much tougher and resilient.  ;)   Also holds more powder too, for add'l speed.  :)
 
 
Both rounds are worthwhile, but I chose my choice for the tougher cases.
