.17 Reed Bee
 

Any one have information on this cartridge. Search engine turned up nothing.
Same with google. I have form and trim dies and about 150 pieces of fire formed brass. Looking for any historical info and if possible a reamer print.
Thanks for any help. You out there D.K. ? dedogs

Did you ever get the info you were after? If not let me know I may be able to help.

Mr Reed himself is on this forum as "reed1911", at least I think it's the same guy. He owns and operates Reed's Ammunition & research in OKC. I got my initial batch of 22 Spitfire brass from them.

Yea the one I have is built by a different gentleman. Marian Reed was a gunsmith out of Bartlesville Oklahoma. Mine is on a Ruger #1. It’s very similar to the Ackley Bee with some minor changes.
