How about the 65 GK? Although you already have a barrel's worth (or two ) in the pic already.

You reckon you'll ever manage to keep one of those 70 grainers in a critter?

Hmmmm. I gotta say I'm surprised to see a pile o' 69gr SMKs rather than 75gr A-maxes. Not like you. 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.........

That 63 grain pill is one freakingly accurate bullet...
Pretty good all arounder but the Swift AI will definitely test the integrity of it...

For those that have asked, I have a coffee can full of 75gr Amax and one full of 65gr Sierra GK. 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.

Oh, and it will be a 1-8" twist. Curious on how the 75gr Swifts will play out or a 53gr TSX at 4100....

220 Roy Rocket, huh?
1-8 twist....90gr Boogers run well and give RL-17 a shake.
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....

I can honestly say I'm anxious about this build. Almost sad... Travis

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.

The sad part is that your barrel is toast with only the bullets pictured.

I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...
