Thought about a vartarg when my 204 is shot out
Dear pahunter , about how many rounds to shoot out a 204Thought about a vartarg when my 204 is shot out
AA1680 works wonders in the 221, I load 44 grain hammer hunters in mine, I killed a huge wild boar with it just to test it out..bang flop lolI had one built, I took the average of what the interweb said for load, loaded 15gr. +/- .01 lil gun, Rem 7 1/2 primer, 40gr v-max got me 3,500 fps same hole @ 100 never tried anything else..... was actually a little disappointed it was that easy to load for.

Didn't realize you were central PA, I'm from that neck of the woods as well.... I will keep an eye open for a fireball for youIm in central pa and my problem is the farmers like cutting hay once a yearmy 3 best spots are about 4ft high currently lol
I have a reamer used once,I got a buddy with a reamer and a barrel if you have an action
My smith had a heck of a time with extraction had to relocate ejector and modify a spacer for mag box.... have a once used reamer for that reasonIf you don't mind the drive (or just put in phone bid) the folks at redding auctions near Gettysburg move a lot of guns. I've seen some high and low prices on fireballs. The cz527s are a hot ticket currently. Prices very high. Also seen a couple XR100s go pretty low which was a surprise.
I put a 223 together on an origin action for a buddy. Now he wants a 221fb barrel to go.with it. On a controlled round feed action, the only question mark is whether I'll need to modify the 223 aics mags. I'm betting that I won't.
Oh yeah what area and thanks!Didn't realize you were central PA, I'm from that neck of the woods as well.... I will keep an eye open for a fireball for you
You don't mention how you plan to use the Fireball. I have a just-broken-in .221 Fireball built on a Kelby Panda action, with a Kelby benchrest stock and a Shilen varmint weight stainless steel match barrel. Let me know if you are interested.Anyone have a 221 fireball they no longer have space for and they're looking to rehome
I have a 20 VarTarg, 17 Fireball, and I'm looking for a 221 Fireball as well; love the VarTarg. Racoons on the other hand, invading my garden and harassing my chickens do not. Hope the OP finds one, I think he will really like it.I have debated a 221 fireball or to neck it down and shoot a 20 Vartarg instead.
40 grain 22 cal bullets at 3500 out of the fireball seem like they'd be perfect for me and they're easier to find bullets locally than the 20 cals. But everyone that has owned both swears you'll never leave the Vartarg once you own one.
Danville areaOh yeah what area and thanks!
