Anyone else shoot the Remington .17 Fireball?

 

I love this round for Groundhogs ,it can reach out to 250 yards+(zero drop@ 250 yards) and still be very effective, after 250 yards i find it hard to spot hogs in the feild/brush. There

I've shot quite a few hogs with a .221 fireball. My understanding is that this is a necked down version of the .221.

 

They are fun to shoot. High velocity, flat trajectory and one hell of a whallop.

 

I'm still a fan of the 22-250. My #1 favorite rifle. The 221 fireball I shot was a bolt action pistol.

I must own a rifle that shoots that torpedo!

 

I could see ammo being pricey, though.

Looks like a real nice round

 

must have some power, they don't want you firing it indoors at central jersey rifle and pistol

Is the .17 Fireball different than the .17? I remember when they caught on a few years ago. I really must get around to these.

Ammo 20 per box runs about $21

reloading , tips per 100 are $21 + 20 grains of powder.
