Rifles been available for 6 months but no brass and factory loads at $2.50 per shot . Sounds like another stroke of marketing genius from Remington . No wonder they are going broke .

and if you want to make your own the 221 fb brass is rare as hens teeth in the states as its all going into 17fb factory ammo production. Still some on the shelves here

Remington has just made a run of .17 and .221 Fireball component brass, it's now available from some of our stateside purveyors. Hang tight, some of it will get there before long. If you're needing some, try Sinclair's.
