Does anyone know of a source for either 17 FB brass or factory rounds?

Thanks!

221 fireball though. Try huntingtons in oroville. I got six boxes there in December and still had three boxes last I checked.

Midway has the .221 Fireball brass in stock for sale. Is it just the "parent" cartridge that needs to be necked down?

Not sure where you're at, but there has been a bag of new brass sitting in the Sportsman's Warehouse in Tucson for weeks. I notice it because it is one of only a few bags of any brass lately.

6mech,

I'm in Sacramento. I'll check out my local Sportsmans Warehouse. Last time I was there all they had was 338 Lapua.

Geez, I miss the good ole days. And by that I mean last October.

Huntingtons in oroville has 17 fireball ammo from hunting shack in stock. My dad was there today and said they had about ten boxes. It's loaded with 25gr Berbers and is $32 a box. It's not too long a drive from sacto or they may ship?
