527 - .222/.221 Magazine/Cartridge interchangeability?
« on: September 15, 2018, 03:06:22 PM »
Howdy.
Resting  in the rack are already a  527  in both  .22 Hornet (Maple version)  and an extremely accurate  .221 Fireball.       

In keeping with my interest  in  older/now less popular calibers, I just purchased a  527  Varmint barreled .222. 

I have  3 extra  magazines  marked  for  the  .221 Fireball.   Are they the same  as a .222 Magazine by any chance  or do I need to purchase  an extra  .222 marked magazine?

Thanks  in advance,  Bo in western NC

 The only caliber in the 527 that I don't have is the 221 Fireball. So I'm not speaking with any authority but doesn't the 221 Fireball magazine have the plastic spacer like the 22 Hornet magazine. I believe that the 222 Remington and 221 Fireball are the same dimensions overall except for the spacer. Could be wrong here.
