The .17 Ackley Bee is a wildcat centrefire rifle cartridge named after its designer, P.O. Ackley, and is a .218 Bee case necked down to .17 calibre with a squarer shoulder and less body taper. Being a rimmed case it was popular with single shot rifles such as the Martini Cadet and Low WallWinchester [Reload Bench [http://reloadbench.com/cartridges/w17bee.html] ] .
