Tim M....Thanks for the load info....I have 2 9.3x62's a Tikka and a Sako and I've been doing quite a bit of reloading for them...I've got the 286gr. Hornady shooting well and with speed,the 250gr. Nosler BT doing very well[took my first black bear with it in nov.]....but the first thing I notice is that the cannelure on the 250gr Swift is pretty far back on the shank of the bullet....it puts the bearing surface way further toward the lands as say the BT....could be good could be bad. I think that the Barnes 250gr. TTSX is almost too long for it's own good as it is the only bullet I've worked with that will limit powder space....even in a Tikka...the COAL in the Sako+Tikka is fairly well unlimited but that Barnes is long...I bought the Swift 250's to see if I can get the same integrity with speed. Boy...if anybody has some history with the Swift I would appreciate it....thanks again....bearit....
