Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Best 221 Fireball Bullet?

I have had great luck using 40 grain BlitzKings, V-max's & Ballistic tips in my 700 classic. Settled (for the time being) on RL7 & Federal match primers.

I have found BlitzKings to be spooky accurate as well as the most explosive o the three on small critters like sage rats & p-dogs. Ballistic Tips seem to hold together better, followed by V-max's so they may be the better choice for chucks or coyotes.

I could happily live with any of the three. Will be picking up some Varmageddons on my next trip to Bend and I am sure they will be great.

Have not tried Lil Gun but by all accounts it may be a fine choice.

One of my favorite past-times is walking the sage for Jacks. The fireball is just perfect for that.
