Ky221: I am puzzled at your problems with the 221 Fireball fired cases not extracting/ejecting properly.
My Remington 700 Classic in 221 Remington Fireball functions perfectly? But I am speaking here from personal experience of my one Fireball and that friends Remington 40XB-KS in 221 Remington Fireball and a couple of Remington 700 re-barreled 223's.
Thanks for posting/sharing that great picture of the "Ground Hog" (?) and your Rifle.

P.S.: I am editing this post to add the fact that I also have an all factory stock Remington Model 700 VSF (Varmint Syntehtic Fluted) in 17 Remington Fireball and it feeds, extracts and ejects perfectly also.
Maybe, as one poster added later on in this thread, that Remington "changed the position of the ejector in their Rifles chambered in Fireball calibers" and that obviously cured any problems with the Fireballs functioning(?).
