Shout Out to Hendershot's -
A Pleasure to deal with, from start to finish.
Very Friendly, Very Knowledgeable. When I described my Firearm, (Remington XP-100 in 7mm Remington BR.) We discussed barrel length and intended use. They had a recommendation. (I ended up with the 140gr. Ballistic Tips.)
They offer 4 different Bullet weights and Loadings. From 120gr to 168gr. Hollow Point, FMJ or Ballustic Tip. (XTP.) Nosler Boat Tails with Peterson Brass.
They Custom load rounds one at a time, not mass produced. My delivery included a Very Comprehensive "Ballistic Report," for my specific barrel length and loading. Showing bullet drop and Zero (100 yards) out to 1500 yards.
I was impressed that this little (apprx. 2 in tall round) held over 1000ft/lbs of Energy out to 450 yards and still held 1800fps. (Muzzle Velocity was 2425 fps.)
They had several info sheets with my order. (3 boxes) one of which, they solicit reviews. If you file a review, you get 10% off your next order. (Not to be sneezed at, considering these are $3/rnd.)
High end Plastic Bullet cases.
Very impressed with them, thus far.
Been at work all day, just got home 1/2 hour ago, drinking a Beer and letting Buddy out and feeding him. Getting darkish outside. Will shoot my XP-100 another day. (I'm off Fri.) Very much looking forward to it. 👍😁
Just wanted to give a very Professional Outfit, Kudo's.

Wear gloves. I worry about your tiny hands.

C'mon Ken, shoot it off of your deck after dark and see the fireball....

Well, @toad67/Todd, for $3/round, I'd kinda like to see where it hits. 🤔
I can fire one of my MN Carbines after dark, if I wanna see a "Fireball." 👍😁

Supposedly, the X P-100 Engineer's (if that's the right word for it?) Nicknamed the .221 Fireball the "Fireball," for exactly that reason.

Yep, they did, thus the reason for the early 221's going from a 10 3/4" barrel to 14". I'd bet you could still get $3 worth of flame from it though...
Glad you found some stuff to shoot. Let us know how it does... C'mon out to Montana and try it on some 500 yard critters...

They load me 185 grain Hornady CX that my rifle loves and the deer hate it has been a great round for me

What Caliber, @savage170?
How much per round?

338 Federal wasn't cheap but still cheaper then what factory ammo is going for right now if you can find it. Going for over 100.00 a box on the auction side right now for the Fusion load

Reading and re-reading the Ballistic Report accompanying the rounds, I just can not get over the fact that this dinky little round (just a hair over 2 1/4" w/the Bal-Tip) holds over 1000 ft/lbs of Energy and 1800 fps at 450 yards.
That's just mind boggling to me.
(1830 ft/lbs Energy and 2425 fps at the muzzle.)
I especially appreciate the detailed "Hold Over," at the various ranges. (Neutral at 100 yards.)
It's still moving at almost almost 1000 fps at 1500 yards. That's just Crazy.
Liking this little rounds ballistics. 👍😁

Been at work till late, last few days. (9pm) Off Fri/Sat. Supposed to rain tomorrow. Started when I just came in. (9:20 ish.) Getting my Taxes done Sat. (Couple years worth. Long Story.) Hope weather is nice and I have some time over the next couple days to shoot a few rounds.
(And) Yes, some floating leaves will be killed. 🤔😉😂🤣 (Not too many, at $3/round.) 😢
Remembering Ricci.Wright's warning about the super light trigger and his seeing one of these go off on chambering a round, I plan on mounting it my Bogs "Deathgrip" Shooting Tripod and having it pointed at the pond, (downslope about 5 levels below the rear deck. Bank and trees on the far side.) Before chambering a round.
