If you cannot get 25-20 brass look for 32-20 brass and convert to the Bee.

32-20 can be readily formed into 25-20/.218Bee with the proper die and some patience. Form them in a few steps with just a little lube (I prefer Imperial Wax), and you will have a bunch of good brass. I keep my Marlin 25-20 fed using a Redding 25-20 case forming die and a good vocabulary. ;-)

I have a Ruger No. 1 single shot rifle in .218 Bee. When I bought it I also bought 300 unprimed cases. The Bee is a reloader's cartridge. For many years factory ammo has been in short supply and expensive when found.

Ammoseek shows plenty of ammo available for a little over a buck per shot. It can also find brass. New Hornady brass is available from several distributors for $.62 to $.76 each.

If low cost is a priority, you may be better off with a .223 and loading it down to Bee ballistics.

Hopefully within the past year, the OP found his ammo. If not Ammo to go has Hornady and Winchester available.
