Got it back today. 221 fireball 12" fluted barrel , sort of a medium contour. It was contoured in order to fit the stock. Target crown Reblued the action Fit the new barrel into the stock And a new bedding job. Barrel reads "221 Fireball (12) McGowan Precision Barrels" Pretty happy with how it turned out! Im contemplating on wether or not to add a forend tip to the stock since I am going to refinish the stock also. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

A nice piece of tiger stripe maple or something like myrtle wood would look real nice on there. I have a stock .221 fireball, fun and accurate gun to shoot. | ||||

Well we had some nice weather here tbis weekend and I was able to take it out , sight it in , and do some shooting. I had a pretty good supply of loads made up with Hornady 40 grain ballistic tips so I used them. I didn't set up the chrony since I was just looking to get it sighted in and see what I'd get for an initial grouping. I can't say I'm "practiced up" shooting XP's anymore since it's been quite a while. So I was a little shakey on the sand bags! Still Im pretty pleased that I was able to repeatedly put 1.5" groups on the target. The ammo was not tailored for the pistol and I only tried one load. Im sure with some load work and more shooting I'll be able to bring the groups down a touch. | ||||

Great set up!!! ![]() ![]() Not sure what powder your using in the FB but if it's not AA1680 get some. Works great in all my FB's with the 40 to 50 gr bullets. Rick | |||
