221 fireball ammo
« on: September 15, 2003, 02:54:53 PM »
What is the best place to order 221 fireball  ammo cheap over the internet.  Remington is the only manufacture that is currently producing 221.  They did not have any at midsouth or cabelas.  The local store wanted $25 per 20.  

Thanks

I believe Remington is the only manufacturer who had ever produced .221 Fireball.  It was never very high volume stuff.  Try Midway or Graf's; maybe they have some.  Better yet, buy yourself some brass and dies and go to it.

Archie,
Do you have an FFL-01 or 03?
If so, or have someone in your shooting circle who does , the Black Hill Shooter Supply is a good source of brass IMHO.
1-800-289-2506
www.bhshooters.com
They have a minimum order of $50. Their price includes shipping.
Price for 221 Fireball brass is $44.70/250. Maybe you could come up with a reguirement for a hundred other cases of anothe caliber. :-)
Oh their price per 100 for the 221 is $18.20.
If you have any further question about BHSS drop me a line. Be happy to answer any questions I can.
I've been buying brass from them for many years now.

Also check Natchez.  If you handload, its no problem to make 221 from 223 brass.  So far have never even had to ream the necks, just size and trim, and resize.

:D I get my .221 fireball from HSM Ammunition. There out of Stevensville Montana. I think HSM stands for Hunting Shack Munnitions. not positive though. The web site is www.thehuntingshack.com
Give them a try they are resonable and the ammo shoots well. They also have a lot of other calibers as well. norm
