221 fireball
I have been looking at several discussion boards for information on the 221 fireball mostly for its range on coyotes. There are many people that say the 221 is a 200yd and under gun for that purpose. But also there are people saying the 22mag is a 100yd gun. in my reserch the 221's 500yd velocity and energy are higher than the 22 mags 100 numbers The nosler varmint balistic tips have a minimum recomended velocity of 1600fps which is well over 400 yds for the 221. also based on vel. and energy if a 223 can kill a coyote at 350yd a 221 should be a 300yd gun. I guess my question pertains to why there is a low range rating for the221 fireball.
