Default repurposed barrels



for a while I was converting a lot of SA Howa's into 300 whisper and ended up with some factory takeoffs.

Decided yesterday to make them into fire forming barrels for the 527.

I'm also thinking a221 FB , does this cartridge feed through a regular 223 CZ magazine? TIA for answer.

As I recall, the 221FB follower is shorter than the 223, but the mag itself is the same length.

I just loaded three 221 Fireballs in the magazine of my 527 Lux 223, they fed and ejected like it normally would with a standard 223. I also tried it with the Calhoon adapter, same good result. I was careful to seat the 221s to the back of the magazine. Also, I use a 53GR SMK bullet in my Fireballs, a bit longer than a typical 40 GR 221 load I don't know if that would make a difference or not.
