Don't have either one right now but used them both plenty for woodchuck shooting and other varmints, years past. We use to love various 50-52 gr bullets started over 3900 fps in the Swift.

I've had Ruger M77, pre64 M70's and one Rem 700 Classic chambered for the Swift and all shot really well. Easy to hit with at distance.

At least with the powders and bullets back then the 22-250 was never as fast and never owned a 22-250AI. I can see how it would be good. But we used the 22-250 plenty and it was excellent, too.

For me it would be about the rifle that popped up. Another pre 64 in Swift would be nice; or a Sako in 22-250.

I have brass and dies for both so no issue there at least right now.

BTW, there will be no issue with feed and function with a pre 64 220 Swift. I can't recall the Rem Classic being a problem either.
