Anyone have reloading info on 218 ICL

It's an improved 218 Bee, using fire formed 218 Bee brass.

Thanks

Is this the same as the .218 ICL Bobcat? There are (only)two loads in Ackley's book for this round and both use IMR4227. Let me know if you can use them.

I was going to start with regular 218 Bee loads and work up, but if you have some for it, that would be great. Does you book have case dimensions ? Those would be helpful.

Thanks !

Am not familiar with the 218 ICL. Probably the most common improved .218 Bee is the 218 Mashburn Bee. Ackley lists a 50 grain soft point and 17.3 grains of IMR 4198 for the 218 Mashburn Bee.
