Hey Scorch,

Thanks for the answer & how's it going out there with you guys ?
I have an extra .22 Hornet barrel from a CZ 527 but I think the
rate of twist is 1 in 16. Not sure if that would work too good
with the .221 Fireball ctg.
I didn't know if they were still being mfg. by CZ or not.
It looks like it might push some of the lighter bullets at about
the same speed as a .222 Rem. with a little less powder and
be pretty accurate also.

Thanks
