My current slow twist barrel loves W760/H414 with 55gr BT's along with Norma brass and 210's.

None of my swifts have ever shot factory ammo well but if you spend some time to find what powder yours likes it might be the most accurate rifle you own. One bit of caution, someone suggested H380 and I have found it to be the most temp sensitive powder I have ever used not worthy of your time even testing it.


You crack me up.

Temp sensitive, yep. Not worth a chit NO.
5 shots 52 grain going 4020 even though I pooched shot 5 that's still a .25
