I posted this on another forum so if you have seen it.....sorry have another look. I was in the market for another 221 fireball and ended up buying one from a member here. A 700 LVSF... My previous fireball was a 700 as well, while it shot fine with 50g Sierras and RL-7 it wasn't really anything to write home about. So I didn't have super high hopes for this one...Fast forward to yesterday.... Had a box of the factory 50g accutip to try out. Really just needed to make brass and get the rifle zeroed. It took me 3 shots to zero and then I fired a 3 shot group at 100. And here's what she did. I'm still going to work up another load for the gun as I totally want to shoot the 50g Sierra Spitzer but I am tickled pink knowing that I grab a box of factory and hunt comfortably with it. I keep a 6" plate at the end of my property. 300 yards on the nose. Ringing it is no issue. I see the demise of many a crow, coon, fox and hopefully a bobcat or 2 this season.

They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
