$40.00 a box for the new .17 Remington Fireball!! WOW!!!

I see that the suggested retail price on the new .17 Remington Fireball is $40.00 a box... All I can say is WOW!!!!

That wouldn`t be so bad if there is 100 rounds in the box. From what I hear it`s the .17 Mach IV so there will be no trouble getting dies or rolling your own.

I looked up some prices for reloading the 17 Mach4-- 221 Fireball cases $ 26.55 per 100,  20 Gr .172 V-Max bullets $13.90, Rem 7 1/2 primers $2.60 per 100,  Powder 1,800 Grs  for 100 rounds $ 5.14  =Total $ 48.09  per 100 rounds or $ 9.62 for 20 ea.  The case forming dies to reduce the 221 neck down to .172 are pricie, but I expect reloading dies and cases  will be made for the Rem 17 Fireball by the time the rifles get to the stores. I dident add sales tax to the cost.

Ouch! I paid $45 for a box of Remington .350 Rem Mags when I bought the rifle. I bought a set of dies real quick.

I wouldn't pay $40 just yet.

$24 @ Cabela's

I would check Midway USA , and Midsouth Shooter's Supply too.
