I traded Paul W. for 500 69 SMKs a little while back when my 1-9 wouldn't run the 75 A-maxes, but loved the 69s. Normally, this would make me think you've a 1-9 twist, only the 70 TSXs usually require a 1-8". I run them in my AR for deer/yotes. You have me a bit puzzled. Is the plan to run the 70s fast enough to stabilize in a 1-9"? Did you take a sudden liking to 69 SMKs or get a deal on some? Or just had them around? Where the hell are the 75 A-maxes. Heck, I dunno........grins Anyway, I shoot a lot of the 69s and the 70s. Never shot a 63 in my life. Awaiting details......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs

Pretty good all arounder but the Swift AI will definitely test the integrity of it... - Greg Success is found at the intersection of planning, hard work, and stubbornness.

I only ordered up some bullets that I didn't have on hand. I'm thinking a moose might catch one of those 70's.... Looking forward to this rig coming together. I have 22/250AI dies on hand and everything says go that route, but I've always wanted to play with the Swift so WTF. "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

The 75's hit 3,500, 80's 3,400 and the 70 TSX ran 3,600 from a 24" tube. The 28 inch tube needs clocked, but eats the same loads with one-hole, religious fervor.... Last edited by HawkI; 04/19/11.

I gotta agree with you Greg the 63 is awesome, its the single most accurate bullet I have ever used period and I've used alot of different bullets. If they kill as good as Dober says I will buy a truck load or two... Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
