Walker570 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Hmmm?? Do you mean the 221 Fireball ?? This cartridge originally designed as a pistol cartridge was noted and still is for it's accuracy potential. It has but died out unfortunately so you would need to reload and remanufacture your own shells. It still shoots the 0.224 projectiles though. Have not seen one offer here in the UK but still pretty popular in the US. If I remember Remington built their XP-100 handguns with this calibre/cartridge. From friends comments in the USA, if you can find one then think you would be more than happy with the outcome. It was one cartridge I looked at when choosing a 'different' 22 centrefire but I evetually chose the 22 Bench Rest also a superb cartridge.
