221 fireball reloading data
IM prolly trading for a 221 fireball remington and was wondering if anyone had some load data for the round, im new to reloading in general and want to start off with this round before i load more exotic stuff, any hints or suggestions?

Cold: Up on the "Reloading Forum" of this site there is currently going on a thread (bunch of postings) regarding reloading the 221 Remington Fireball!
It is about 12 topics down from the top right now and is titled "221 Fireball loads??".
Like I posted there (more specifically) I would start out with the Lil'Gun powder in the 221.
Good luck with your 221!

I have had good luck with RL-7, H-4198, AA-1680. H-4227 and LIL'GUN give excessive pressures before reaching maximum velocity. Have been able to maintain 3250 fps with 50grn. and 3550 fps. with 40 grn. bullets. Good accuracy with Rem. 700 Classic.
