I "think" it was in the 70's when i got my first Rem. XP100 in Fireball... I've had a few of them over the years and they shoot just like you'd think they would!! At the time, bench rest shooters would buy them and rob the actions to build BR rifles out of.

Then i remember haveing two ?? TC Contenders in Fireball...

Anyway, i haven't loaded or fired a Fireball in a long time now, as my father gave his Contender in Fireball away to my brother some time ago...

Anyway, i like the 222 Rem. better too, but the 221 loads and shoots very nice and is very accurate....
