It works much better in Fireball than the parent cartridge in the little Sako action. Been a staple for me for about three decades. I've often thought a nice old Vixen would be sweet in .221 FB!

Alaska	FWIW - I run 13.3 gr IMR-4227 and a 55 gr FMJ to shoot birdies with (~2,200 fps) Very accurate in my 20" Custom Shop Contender carbine. Let my kid shoot kill a few birds with it this last weekend. Said it really dropped 'em compared to his .22 LR - go figure.
