I have a Kimber 82B .218 Bee and wish to re barrel/chamber to a 17 Ackley Bee.   Has anyone done this?  Suggestions, advice?

Since your Kimber is a bolt action you probably asked in the wrong place. 
In 218 bee you have a rare rifle,personally I'd leave it alone to protect the value. It's your rifle to do as you wish though.

You could sell that and buy several other rifles.

IMHO sell it and purchase a 17 Fireball or 17 Hornet.
