[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1690241, member: 21496"] I’ll have to try some of those 35 gr. Bergers in my LVSF. Nice to see someone’s not reinforcing the rumor that the Fireball was a shortened .222 Remington — a common misconception that I’ve even seen repeated over on the “premier” small-caliber site. Just checking the neck length should be a clue. Does make one wonder, however, if a longer-necked Fireball would be even more accurate?! Edit: To clarify, the FB and .223 are indeed “derived” from the parent .222 Remington. The .221, though, is [I]not[/I] a shortened .222 as some claim; it’s a .223 from the shoulder up. [/QUOTE]
