a 243 necked down to 22 caliber makes more sense to me than a 220 Swift... which brass availability sucks right now anyway...


^^^^^ This ^^^^^

I would do a 22-243 Middlestead before doing a 220 Swift, but based on my very limited experience with the 22-243 and 22-6mm, I would probably do a 22-250 AI if barrel life was important.


I'm with you on this one, and I'm on my fourth Swift barrel, this one is a 220AI. If I didn't have a basketfull of brass, the .22-243 Middlestead is the way to go.
