Hi Everyone!
Happy New Year!
I have the bug to get/put together a 221 Fireball. I would like any and all info anyone has on doing this. I'm thinking of a model 10 or 12 action, but I'm open. I don't have a rifle to start with as yet, and would prefer a nice used complete gun to start with. What barrel makers have you used? What barrel twists are you using? I would like a heavy varmint barrel profile (.850?) around 18 inches, but again, I'm open. I plan on using 35-40 grain jacketed bullets, but might go up to 55 grain cast lead too. Thanks in advance! Bob

I've already got a Savage in 22-250 that Fred at Sharp Shooters Supply did for me. This 221 would be a paper puncher and low cost varmint/fun gun.
