Can someone tell me if the .221 Fireball and .222 Remington cartridges have the exact same case head dimensions? I am asking because I am thinking about rebarreling an old XP-100 to fire .222 Rem. and I do not want to have to alter the bolt in any way.
Thanks very much for any replies! ------------------ "He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages." Mark Twain |

from Speer manual 13,.221 fireball case head
is ,3780" ..222 Rem is .03780"but the web near base is .3772" on fireball and.3765" on .222.since its a rebarrel and not a chamber job won't make a diff. |

Thanks very much! I am not a handloader and do not have those great manuals to reference. ------------------ "He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages." Mark Twain |
