Yeah, one of my boring habits in this sport is getting attached to a cartridge and keeping with it.
I fell in love with the cute little 221 50 years ago, along with its XP100 and even Contender...

I'm in the 221 FireBall camp too.
Bought three XP100s back in the 70s and 80s in that persuasion, along with a couple or three Contender barrels.
Still shoot them.
So do Grandsons :-)

Thanks for that tidbit BCB! So they dropped a grain and got 4000fps. Ain't that something.
I was born a few years after the 220 Swift came out in, I believe, 1935 or so, and I grew up in the 1950s...

Thanks for the info!
I'm fortunate in still having a stash of 33-grain 5mm VMax bullets that I bought before Hornady dropped a grain in that caliber for whatever reason they had. I use them in the...

So the banded bullets are not a new idea?
I wonder why they are not in general use.
Maybe it's the expense and difficulty of making them.

I use 6.0 grains of Lil Gun in my centerfire-converted 5mm Remington Mag with great results. This just about fills the case, which are milled-down .22 Hornets.
I could get a bit more velocity by...
