Like "22 Varminter or the .22 Wotkyns Original Swift? laugh I prefer 22/250 Browning as they were ahead of Remington in chambering a commercial rifle in that cartridge.


How about 22.250 Sharpe?

Phil Sharpe built the first rifle chambered for it, did all the load work ups and was also an avid 220 Swift shooter who could compare them side by side. (1937)
He had a great write up on the pros and cons of each in his later books.

220 Swift or .224 TTH


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
