.221 Fireball Ammo Prices

Remington built this tiny round in 1963 for a single-shot pistol and accidentally created one of the most inherently accurate cartridges ever made. The Fireball is a shortened .222 that shoots like a laser and reloaders and benchrest-minded shooters have quietly adored it for decades. A small precise gem that never got the fame it earned. Good things in a little case.

Loads run 40 to 55 grain in the scarce offerings that exist. A niche precision round priced accordingly in small boxes. The Contender crowd and the accuracy handloaders buy whenever it surfaces and reload the rest.
