accurate .221 load?
I am looking for an accurate load for my Rem. 700 LVSF in .221 fireball. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I do not have a Rem, but I do have a CZ 221 Fireball. I get excellent results with 40gr Nosler BT seconds and 2400. LilGun woks well also, but I prefer the 2400. My barrel stays cooler longer. Keeps me shooting longer before I have to let it cool down.

.221 Powder
Also, take a look at RL-7 and AA1680....I'm currently using the later in my .20VT...which is a comparable cartridge, and formed from .221 brass.....Good luck.

So far....
I had the barrel floated, and the action bedded, then I tried some 40 gr. Blitzkings with AA1680 (19.5). The second group showed some promise...four shots touching, and one flier. I plan to try some Barnes 40 gr. VLC with the same powder tomorrow.
