Damn don't piss tom off.

I do remember those Remington Fireball pistols which were chambered in .221 and 222. Swift.

I believe you have the 222 Remington and 220 Swift confused, as there is not a 222 Swift. The 222 Remington was developed as an experimental short range benchrest competition cartridge, the Swift is a totally differently animal and eats twice as much powder.

Everybody on the Warren Commission is probably dead or senile.

For the record, last living member was Gerald Ford, the CIA's best friend.

The guy couldn't even make toast without putting himself at peril.

Remember those WIN "Whip Inflation Now" buttons @ 1975 ? Yeah Jerry Ford whipped inflation all right. Into a frenzy. And poor Jimmy Carter still gets the blame.

Yes a typo, I am familiar with the 220 Swift as it was a popular varmint round in this area.
I think that James Files (Sutton) claimed he used a .221 Fireball, according to him.

I've have seem that info before, if one is to believe his story you have a guy that was hand picked to carry out maybe the most famous coup of all time and he cannot remember which cartridge he used? I also want to know how a gun chambered 221 FB can be "easily modified" to shoot the 222 Remington. Answer me this, why is it that every time this bitten 222 casing comes into play, you never see a picture of the case head?

I have factory guns and wildcats based off both the 222 and 221, He's a pic of the 221 Fireball, 222 Remington and 223 Rem which all the same dia. bullet, which is .224. I also included a 142 grain 6.5mm bullet, a 750 grain .510 (50 BMG) and the 168 grain OTM 7.62 Nato (308 Win) issued round for scale.

Yeah, a lot of (dis)information out there.

Didn't they find that bitten shell casing years later by the picket fence?

Found it, 1987 the casing was found with teeth marks.

Thanks for the picture, makes me want to reload again.
