[QUOTE="sw282, post: 1690226, member: 93980"] Hi, Kinda new here (2015). Just haven't posted. The 221Fireball is probably the most revolutionary small bore ctg since the 22 Hornet. lntroduced in 1963 in the XP100, lt is the parent ctg for the 223/5.56x45 introduced a year later in 1964. 221 FB and 223 Rem have the same neck length and shoulder angle of .197'' and 23 deg...... 222 Rem is .313'' l ''discovered'' the 221FB about 5 yrs ago when l got a little Rem 700 SA LVSF 22'' barrel. lt was a dream come true in a lighter Varmint pkg over previous 26'' rigs. l got a chance to test its handling on a NM prairie dog shoot last year. My load was 35gr Berger JHP using IMR4227, Rem 7 1/2 primer and Brass. Not a lot of dogs, but no complaints from those that ate their ''BERGERS'' @ 3400FPS.. Only mods to gun were a SHILEN trigger and Pachmyer Decelerator pad installed by Kenny Jarrett [/QUOTE]
