I found some cases at the range, that are a 223 Rem that was shortened and necked-up to shoot a .30 cal bullet. Can anyone tell me if it has a name? What kind of ballistics does it produce? What is it used for? Any info would help. Shovel ready..... but hangin' on | ||

One that comes to mind is the 300 Whisper http://stevespages.com/jpg/cd300whisper.jpg They are often loaded subsonic thus the name. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

People often make 300Whisper from 223 cases rather than buy 221Fireball. There is also a wildcat 30cal on the 223Rem just as the 222Rem has also been used for a short 30cal 'cat. Cheers... Con | |||

A local friend has one he plays with, he uses 210 grain Lead bullets he makes.. it is on a Savage 223 platform.. using brass sized down to Fireball size... He turns in some impressive 100 yd groups, especially for a cast bullet... it would make a good deer stand rifle with that bullet weight...and 100 yd zero.....

A fair number are using 300/221 Fireball or 300 whisper if JD Jones makes it. Here's a place we gather ... http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27 | |||
