Is there a one book one caliber book for 218 bee?

You may want to check out www.saubier.com and search on 218 Bee load data. I like AA1680 in my Bees and use 14.9 grains with 52 grain bullets. This load is hotter than you will see published but I have used it for years in a strong action like your Encore. I shoot a Cooper Model 38. The published data is conservative in my experience taking into consideration the older lever actions and bolt actions with rear locking lugs (e.g. Win. Model 43). Start lower and work your way up. Fun cartridge. Enjoy!

I know a wonderful woman friend of mine that has killed deer with a model 43 Winchester 218 Bee for the last guessing 50 years, never has lost one.

Try Loadbooks.com. I have one for 220 Swift and one for 45-70. They are caliber specific. I don't know if they publish one for the Bee but they might.
