I am looking to build a high velocity varmint whacker. I have had a 220 swift in the past and using that as my base of comparison I'd like to stay at or above that level of performance, except I do not want another Swift.
Looking at staying between 50-85 grain projectiles with loads that will dot the I's and cross the T's.
Some chamberings I am considering: .223 WSSM, .224 TTH, 6mm AI, .243 WSSM
What's your opinion?
I'm running a 22" 6mm Rem 55gr Nosler BT at 4050fps. 1.5" high at 150 (highest point and dead on at 225ish) is 2.3" low at 300, less than 10" low at 400 and 23" at 500. Bests what I've seen with the 22-250. I have no experience with the Swift. Probably not an all day prarie dog option, but great on coyotes and eastern groundhogs (if you can find one since the coyotes have taken over).
