[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 130206, member: 4683"] It's a 222 w/about 2/10th's of an inch wacked off and a few thousands more girth below the shoulder. A guy at saubier small caliber news had 8000 rounds down the barrel and going strong. Remington has a 17 cal version -17-221fb- on the way basically a 17 mach iv that's now a factory cartridge.= 20gr v-max @ 4000+fps w/21-22gr of powder. I knocked the biggest crow i ever seen [looked like a buzzard] off a fencepost at 270-280 yds in wyoming w/the little fireball. I payed $450 for the little cz and wouldn't take $750 for it!!! Also i mentioned .5-.6" size groups -that doesn't sound too great but in the conditions i was testing in it was a keeper [horizontal stringing].It's shot several true bughole groups -5 shots at .231" is one i see in my notes. I'd have to dwell on it for a long time to chose 1 and only 1 cartridge for varminting but the 221 fb might very well be my choice! Get one you'all will love it!------Mike [/QUOTE]
