4198 has always given me the best accuracy in the .221 Fireball. Much better than anything else I've tried.

While I don't have a 221, Accurate 2015 or 2230, Vita-vori 133 and Alliant Reloader 7 will be in the same ballpark as 4198. I've used all of them in a 222 with excellent results. If I had to pick one of these I'd go with the 2015.
