Couestracker Report post Posted July 22, 2019 Picked up an old bolt action pistol, Remington XP 100 in .221 Fireball. What's your thoughts on this round for coues? Definately using for javelina! 🐗 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
450Dakota Report post Posted July 22, 2019 I have a rifle chambered in 221 Fireball. I wouldn't use it on deer. Too many better choices. Not saying it wouldn't work but a little off and you've got a wounded deer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 23, 2019 Cool gun but i would definitely not hunt coues with it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitemann Report post Posted July 27, 2019 I have a couple XP-100 in 221 FB and I would definitely not use them on coues deer unless you plan to only take shots under a hundred yards and can place the bullet perfectly even then I would not do it. Lots better choices and the 10.75" barrel will really hinder your velocities with the heaviest bullet you could use which is 55gr. Use it on varmints and enjoy or sale it to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couestracker Report post Posted July 27, 2019 Thank you all for the input. I was admittedly premature with my question, as I haven't even fired this handgun yet, or looked at ballistics. But is definitely going along for javelina and predators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
