That little Ruger lays em in there pretty good. There is a whitetail labeled for a 55gr ttsx in November.
I love that little gun.
I'm going to get a .223 of my own I think.
Headed to the game fair today and hoping I have the strength to not bring home a puppy.

I should have clarified. The 50's we've used out of the .223. The 55TTSX out of my 22-250. 50's and the .223: 55's and the 22-250:

What kind of rifle are you running in that Swift Mike?

T- I made a pair of them on M70 SA push feeds. The actions have a 3+ inch magazine box and feed the Swift flawlessly. One has a 8 twist Brux barrel in an Edge while the other has an 8 twist Rock 5R barrel in the original lightweight wood stock. They weigh within an ounce of each other.
Clark- Gruff is the one who told me once you try them you will like 'em.....
I have had great luck shooting 75 VLD's in the Brux barrel. I am in the process of checking out 75 grain Swift SII's in that rifle. A Swift shooting Swift bullets would be awesome!!
I have been shooting monos only in the Rock. Both 55's and 62's shoot tiny groups in that rifle. I am impatiently waiting for Nosler to get off their butts and start making the 55 grain E-tip. With a .350 BC they should be sweet...

Mm,
Thank you sir. I see Winchester currently builds them on the m70 fwt action. I could like that.

They're building Swifts or they're building 22-250's?

I've been using .22 caliber rifles for deer off and on since it became legal. A good bullet placed in the boiler room fromm a .22 has outperformed .270/30-06 and other larger calibers with plain old soft points. I can't remember one that hasn't been DRT with a .22.
For those who want to pull a Texas heart shot, go big. The rest will be just fine with a .22 and good bullets.
Do not feed the bear!

Sure agree with you White Bear. And if you go to the faster twists, you will be even more impressed with the results....

It is a .22-250 but never mind because it's a 14 twist. WTF?

Are you serious? other choice was the glock 43 but felt more comfortable with the m&p.
