I owned a 221 FB built by Speedy G at SGY, ONLY shot 40s in it as at 3600+ with Lil gun, I saw that as an advantage vs. 50s or heavier much slower. It was flat, accurate, and did what I needed it to do.
Lighter bullets simply DO have a place and work well, so long as the user does their part.
The Swift above was built with a purpose in mind, and for the owners purpose, I have no doubt it will do just fine. Whenever that tube is worn out, he may want to try something else, who knows, but I have yet to see an argument to tell me why his 40-53gr pills launched from a 14" twisted Swift will be ineffective when he connects, and I am sure he will connect just fine.
When he needs more gun for bigger game, I am sure the OP has other tools for the task at hand.
NO question a fast twist has some flexibility as to bullet options, but that's not my point. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall BMD saying he was shooting a minimum of 500 yds, and shots on varmints were to 1,000. His 300 will take care of those needs I am sure
You, sir, obviously know nothing about dealing with gunsmiths, twists and mathematics. You have the nads to build a rifle designed to shoot lightweight boolits? How dare you do such a thing? Next time please check in with us before deciding what to do. Oh and BMD, you do the same. After all, unless approved prior to building, you will need to explain yourself and beg for forgiveness. Be afraid, be very afraid.
