Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’ve considered one myself but it’s the ammo situation that held me back. Have a look at Richard Utting on sharpshooters uk. He’s put a few videos up on you tube with the fireball. Quote Link to post

Alsone 789 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 There seem to be a few places selling them. Also, it appears they can be fire formed if you're a reloader: http://www.predatormastersforums.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3038792 Quote I have used the Fireball brass with great results. I go in this order anneal with the Annie size with expander die trim neck turn prime load shoot My fire forming loads shot so well I used them in an offhand match. I don't accept any liability if this is wrong though. Just pointing you there as a possible solution. Quote Link to post

Jkm 1 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yes i use a 17 fireball myself cracking little centre fire use it for long rabbits at night with night vison But the main problem is the brass you just can't get hold of it no more it's no longer imported into the UK you might be lucky if someone has old stock somewhere but I've asked everywhere in the UK So I simply just form all my fireball brass it's fair few hours of work but if you like loading and know fair bit about loading it can be done spend the money on the equipment needed then away you go, or failing that send me a message I'll be able to help you on some fireball brass if you want it great little round Quote Link to post
