[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 1690999, member: 21375"] My Fireball cont .... I did extensive load development wit my Rem 700 LVSF 221 Fireball and discovered a few things. 1) The Tupperware stock that came standard with the LVSF was too soft. It would move on the gun and create random and inconsistent contact points on the barrel. I would get little bitty groups but they were all over the target depending on how I held the gun. I folded one of my business cards into 4ths and wedged it under the end of the synthetic stock. No more POI variation. 2) My Fireball liked every bullet I tried between 35 - 50 grains. I eventually settled on 40 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. 3) I replaced the factory synthetic stock with a Boyd's Thumbhole Laminate. I lost the Light part of Light Varmint Stainless Fluted but the gun was now a tack driver with my handloads. 4) The gun has accounted for a large pile of varmints and crows. [/QUOTE]
