Skiing with a 221 Fireball

[CT10ring]

Just something a little different. I guess this is a wilderness hunt, will try to find a Google Earth link later.

Rifle is a factory Rem700 SA light varmint 221 Fireball. Shoots ok, but not good. Leupold mk5 HD was a nice surprise, these birds are about the hardest spotting I do once the snow starts to drift a little.

awesome!! expect you are not able to own or shoot a mil cartridge? i.e.; .223 Rem/5.56mm. 40g in @ 221 fb is a good combo. stunning, beautiful and hard shooting in extreme cold, skiing, thick gloves. well done.

No due some bureacratic process I am limited to max .224/55 gr bullets and specifically 22 Hornet and 221 Fireaball centerfires. I can use smaller cartridges and rimfires, but the centerfires tend to blow up the bird and the rimfires can be batch-sensitive in terms of precision.
