Probably the nastiest, craziest round on the market at the moment.

.17 Remington Fireball

According to sources, it's basically impossible to trace this round (ballistics wise) due to the velocity and small nature of this round. Looking at what it can do to small critters and varmits, you can guage for yourself just how nasty this little bastard is.

-Will be adding to the locker shortly :cool:

I've been wanting a 700VSF chambered in .17RF since I first heard about them a couple years ago. Other guns have taken priority though, and it's been put on the back burner.

 

Just an FYI though, factory loaded .22-250 and .220 Swift are obviously bigger, and are both over 4,000fps. They do work as well.

My 22 wmr feels like such a newb now at only 2k fps.

How much more effective is a 17 fireball going to be then a 22wmr at 100 yards?

I am guessing looking at everything beyond 100 yards the 17 fireball will start to dominate.
