If he ignores me on this problem, it will be the other shoe dropping and I will tell all of my experiences with him on this project.
In retrospect, I wish I had bought a Savage .223 and screwed on a new barrel in .221 Fireball. It would have been a lot easier and cheaper. However it all started with my buying a used rifle that I thought was in good working order...
There's also a wildcat round called the .223 Short that is in between the Hornet and .221 for power. For just a little more money than converting a Savage to .221, I could have had a rifle in .223 short. The .223 Short was designed so that a cut down and renecked .223 Rem case doesn't need to be reamed to be used. It's a cool little round and a better choice than the way I went...
