Wow, you're a real trip! You make us all laugh everytime you open your mouth. What an ignorant ass you are. Are you 10 years old or 12? First you suggest someone shooting a 50/52 grain bullet out of a Swift will burn their barrel out in 400 rounds. Right! Were you born a negative, antagonistic, trouble making assinine jerk, or did you develop that later in life? You said I told Capbutch to 'shoot 39.5 gr. of 4320 in his Swift'. Well, if you hadn't been so consumed with being an ass and negative, you'd of noticed that I DIDN'T say that at all. He asked for some suggestion on loads for his Swift, and I told him what I was shooting in my gun. You probably didn't notice either, that I told him to; "start at around 37 gr. and work up slowly." That's what I do, and what all reloading manuals suggest too. I NEVER told him to just load up 39.5 gr. of 4320 in HIS gun and shoot it. You're such a jerk.
You really
shouldn't come in the Campfire and pop off about things you apparently know nothing about. We in here are just in here to share things and have a good time. Don't need, boys, like you in here stirring up trouble, putting others, their loads and guns down.
You further show how little you know about guns and reloading by suggesting that 4320 isn't a good (recommended) powder for the Swift. Make me laugh some more will you! Oh, and by the way, recommend is spelled with 2 m's not one, like you did. But I understand, coming from a sixth grader like you.
I've been reloading since 1966, and have more reloading manuals than you have fingers and toes. I have a library of books and other data on reloading. Funny too, that the first 8 reloading books I just picked up have tons of .220 Swift load listings for 4320 powder. A rather common powder used in reloading the .220 Swift. Something your obviously aren't aware of either. I've shot 3031, 4320,4831,4350, and others in the Swift. 4064 is a great powder for loading in the Swift too.
As far as telling Capbutch to load 39.5 gr. of 4320 in his Swift, as I said before, (check my post Chump)I DIDN'T. You also said that it was over a maximum load. NOT! I can tell you don't know much about reloading. Check 10 different reloading manuals and you'll see 10 different loadings for the same bullet, powder and charges. So many different variables to deal with in those manuals. Testing from different guns, barrel length, temperature conditions, etc. to name a few. Speer reloading manual #5 lists 42 gr. of 4320 for a max. load in 50/52 grain bullets, 38 for minumum. Oh, how 'white' of Speer to list a load like that that has a minimum load of 38 grains to be more than the maximum load of 37ish like you mentioned from ANOTHER manual. I suppose Speer does that so they can be liable and sued for listing a dangerous load, right! Compare different manuals and all you see are differences and discrepancys between same caliber, powder and bullets. Check it out 'Not So'. Can't call you Swifty,because you're not, but will call you 'Not So Swifty', because based on your comments, you aren't very 'swift.'
Mule Deer,in here, states that 'there are lots of powders that work well in the Swift'. I know 4320 is one of them. Have been shooting that load since 1975. Did my homework, researched some possible loads, started low and tested them, and settled on 4320. 4064 also worked good for me.
Keith, in here, posted that he's got 2800 shots out of his Swift. You tell me 400 warm/hotter loads from a Swift will burn out a tube. Double NOT! Make us laugh some more, Child!
Here are just a few 4320 powder loads listed from some of my reloading manuals using 50/52 gr. bullets in .220 Swift. Note the differences, and that my 'tested' load isn't above many of the listings. Speer #5: max. 42 gr., min. 38 gr., Lyman 44th edition: 40.0 gr. max., 36 gr. min., Nosler #1 Editon: 38 gr. max, 34 gr. min., Hornady Vol. II: 39.5 gr. max.,35 gr. minium. Gun Digest 1975: (article by famed, late Don Lewis) max. 41 gr., min. 38 gr. How many more would you like to see???? Manuals all show differences with same powders/ bullet weight. Check them out. One 30-06 load with 180 gr. bullet list 58.0 gr. of 4350 as max. load, and another list 52 gr. as a max.
So you 'Not So', really need to do your homework before you come into our peaceful rooms and pop off about things you obviously know nothing about. You show us what you 'don't' know every time you open your mouth in here. We were just in here making load suggestions to Capbutch, not bothering anyone. Then you come in here accusing people (aka Me) of giving Capbutch, unsafe, hot loads. Again, note that I told him to start low and work up 'slowly'.
I don't bother anyone! I don't give people crap either. I'm a quiet, backwards, shy kind of a guy. BUT, I also don't take crap off of knit wits like you coming in the Campfire and attacking folks, loads, guns, etc. with ridiculous, assinine and ignorant comments. Do yourself a favor 'bud' do your homework and think more about what you are saying so you don't open your big mouth and stick your foot in it.
Terrbile 5 shot,100 yard group from my 'ole shot out' .220 Swift. NOT!
A 5 shot 100 yard group shot with my Cooper M21, Montana Varminter, in .204. 26.0 gr. of Reloader 10X with 39 gr. Sierra bullet, at 3887 fps. 'Not So' Swifty probably thinks I'll shoot that barrel out in 400 rounds too..
