I converted a ruger compact in 223 to a 221 FBI (fireball improved) when we shortened the barrel to where the 223 ai reamer was run in to cut the chamber it left the barrel at 16.25"
we used it for coyote calling as well as fox. it had a 1-12 twist barrel and just loved the sierra 63 gr semi spitzer. it was loaded with aa1680 and produced 2920 fps and killed a many a p-dog at 300+ yards. it also like the 40 gr nosler balistictips and gave velocities in the 3700 fps range.
dumb me sold it and miss it a lot.
