customrifle

Hi lads wondering if any of ye know of any gun shops that stock 17 fireball ammo. After gettin a 2nd had 17 remington and and goin to get it re built into a fireball just wondering about availability of ammo. Thanks

Read a review recently in "Shooting Sports" I think it was and they reckoned .17 REM was a better calibre then .17 Fireball.

Not seen ammo anywhere or even heard of anyone with it.

Will ask around

cheers bunnyshooter, Ya read alot of different reviews on the fireball vs the 17 remington goin ordering 17 lothar barrel anyway and its down to availability of ammo that will swing in favour of it being chambered in the fireball or 17 remington. Would like to try fireball as its supposed to fowl less and prolong barrel life

jwshooter

there is far better cals out there ,with available ammo.

when picking a hunting cal its better to use the KISS principle

.17 Rem is widely available but expensive.

I like your style.............like "different" calibres myself

like the prospect of trying out different caliber alright bunnyshooter and seeing what destructon it does on the foxies rifle should be ready in couple months(have to wait on barrel and reamer to come in) ill let you know what day shes being ran in on range and you can try her yourself aslong as you promise to be gentle ha ha
jwshooter i usually use my 250 on foxes just heard about the fireball and would like to try it ive used every cal from a .22 to a .243 foxin but overlooked the .17s up to now, actually 204 is another cal ive missed too i wonder how understanding my new supernintendo is.............:D
