Default RE: .221 fireball

I can remember my father owning a pair of XP100s in .221 during the early 70s. He even had a pair of shoulder holster rigs made for them. I also remember shooting them alot but that was 30 years ago with me, my brother, and my father winning a lot of turkey shoots back then using those same pistols. They are a lot of fun to shoot, easy on the ears with no felt recoil and pretty deadly with the right optics on them(we had a doz turkeys in the freezer at one time). I think my father paid $150.00CDN each at the time. Myonly regret was that we could`nt hunt with them as we live in Canada. I am sure hitting gophers at 300yds with one would have been a blast.
