    221 Fireball

    Really,4227 and lil gun are good in a .410 shotgun shell load for skeet,but a tad too fast in the fireball. The fireball will shoot powders that are used in the .222 Recoil,never heard of recoil in a .221 FB unless it;s in the old xp-100 pistol., I chambered a .221 in a hart barrel using a...

    221 Fireball

    I use fed 205 primers,17 grains of n-120 and a 52 grain br bullet. 1680 and 4198 are very good,h-4198 at 17 grains is a good br load. I use Lapua .222 cases by just running them through a .221 fireball sizing die,trim to length,check neck thickness,you may have to turn a small amount .

    new scope on the horizon

    Pete,don't ya think about 75% of the problems of blaming the scope is the rifle is not shooting and not the scopes problems.

    new scope on the horizon

    Jerry,thats about as stupid a price to pay for a scope i ever seen,a scope costing more than a new rifle. can't wait to what happens to these over priced jigs when deflation hits hard. piles of them in junk yards.

    722 vs 700 Remington action?

    I have a 722 in .300 savage,and i just started building one on a 722 that was chambered in .244 The difference is the safety,stamped parts, but really the same as a 700. I like mine,don't care so much for a .300 savage chamber but it;s a good light hunting rifle with very good barrel/accuracy.

    Brass for .221 Fireball & 222 Rem

    No i have not ,i use it in a .410 skeet loads,i'll try it in the .221,the N-120 was the best going but they stopped making it and AA-1680 is also very good. I might try lil-gun in my hornet.

    Brass for .221 Fireball & 222 Rem

    I use Lapua .222 brass for both the 221 fb and the .222 I just take 222 lapua brass,run it through a .221 fl sizing die and trim to length. The RWS brass is very good,it is a bit harder that norma and lapua. n-120 and AA-1680 has no peers in the .221 fireball.

    257 AI on M98

    No-no,it should work well when fed from the mag. The cases are the same except the Ackley case is a tad Bigger as it is blown almost straight to the shoulder. The 22/250 works very good.

    257 AI on M98

    It should work ok if you have the extractor altered to chamber with out chunking them down in the mag. my friend has a 98 mauser that is chambered in 22/250 and it works fine. I don't think you will have a problem,since the 257 ai is a 8mm necked down anyway.
