[BlackBrant]

have just purchased a .17 remington fireballl in remington 700 sps varmint ,and would like to hear from anybody who has any feedback on this hot new round.as of now,only rem.makes both the ammo and guns.

how do you like it so far?
I'm thinking of trying it to have a bit more range then my .17m2

Whats the advantage over the 17 remington at 4000fps?

I have built and used the 17 Mach IV several times and they have all worked very well. The 17 Fireball is the standardized version of this wildcat round.

How is the ammo availability? I've got a gift cert for WSS and am pondering either a excaibur or another rifle.

less powder so it's cheaper to reload and you don't have to clean every 8 shots or whatever it is

I'm wondering if and when CZ will chamber it in the 527.....if they do I'd have to consider one as a gopher rifle.
