.17 Bumble Bee


Cartridge Drawing

The .17 Bumble Bee was born back when the longest barrel available for the Thompson/Center for its single shot pistol measured 10 inches. At that time, a number of reduced capacity cartridges were developed for what was thought to be a higher level of efficiency that could be achieved with full length cartridges in the short barrel. Another cartridge was developed for this same purpose was the .30 Herrett.

Like a number of wildcats of the same caliber, the .17 Bumble Bee is about as dead as last year's news. This is true for a couple of logical reasons. Due to the relatively light weight of the .17 caliber bullet, its effectiveness on varmints is greatly dependent on extremely high velocity, a characteristic missing from the Bumble Bee's short list of credits in either a rifle or a short barreled pistol. In addition, no logical reason exists for choosing a .17 caliber wildcat for the Contender when Thompson/Center offers the far superior .17 Remington chambering. The factory loaded .17 Remington will generate around 3500 fps for a 25 grain bullet in a 15 or 16 inch barrel, close to 1000 fps more than is possible with the Bumble Bee, and it will do it without the use of case forming dies.

All of this is not meant to say that Contender barrels chambered for the .17 Bumble Bee should be relagated to gathering dust. But it is to say that when shots on varmints exceed about 100 paces, the Bumble Bee starts running out of sting fast.
