Pappy348: Two things: My Ruger 77-V Liberty Model 220 Swift also stretches brass noticeably more than all my other Swifts - I wonder if they had a loose or out of spec reamer back then?
And this - I use Norma brass in my Remington 40XB-KS in 220 Swift. I really like this brass and the accuracy is very impressive and like you say it is both pricey and elusive.
I use that wonderful Remington 40XB-KS and the Norma brass only for special occasions (low volume shooting type Hunts).
Just curious did you acquire the 22-250 Liberty after your brothers passing?
AND... what were you two doing in that corn crib for three days - specifically thinning out the flying Varmints or Hunting something else?
TIA

P.S.: Around my parts the large Ravens will peck the eyes out of newborn calves when they get the chance and a couple of my rancher friends "insist" on their guest Hunters thinning out the Ravens - you should see the big cloud of black feathers when a Raven is "hit" with a 220 Swift!
It emphatically answers the question about why the need for a 220 Swift over 223's, 204's etc!
