I want to reload my Rem. XP-100. I'm having a hard time finding the bullets for it. I think they are the same size as the .222. The .223 is just a tad bigger. Where can I get the bullets for it and what name and size do they go under?
Also what powder and primer do you think would be good for it? Thanks, Gary

The 221 FB uses a .224 bullet. The case mouth should be .2245. I'm partial to the 40 gr. HDY V-Max over 17 gr of Reloader-7, out of my 10" contender.

Thanks so much for the information and the site. The prices were very reasonable. I was able to purchase two die sets and 2 boxes of bullets. One for my .445 Super Mag.
What a beautiful Contender. Where did you get that beautiful wood stock for it? I have a couple of
them and several barrels. They are a lot of fun to shoot.

Appreciate the comment. A buddy who made Guitars in the Ozarks did the inletting and rough shaping. I finished the fitting and hand-rubbed the tung oil finish. There are a few folks on the Specialty Pistols website that make similar wood. If you haven't visited them, you should; great bunch of folks there too: http://specialtypistols.infopop.cc/eve/forums
I have the same id there.
Here's another of my favorite contenders in 17 FB, great squak gun:

I saved a post in the past with what I think is your collection of Contenders and
those beautiful stocks you have. They really give a gun class.
I was able to order 2 die set and 2 boxes of bullets. The other for my .445.
The price was reasonable. Thanks again. Gary
