You fellas are both right. The .218 Bee is a rimmed case, low pressure round. But even though it will head space on the rim it will still head space off the shoulder of the case when resized properly. By keeping the head space to a minimum I am trying to wring the last ounce of accuracy and case life out of these cartridges.
I bought 100 of these cases new 3 or 4 years ago. Now they are only available on the auction sites and going for crazy high prices. If I am careful with them they should last me the rest of my life! I'll keep you posted on accuracy results which hopefully will be in the next couple of weeks.
