Amazing, 57 years after its discontinuation people still debate when it will die, not only that but they continue to compare other cartridges to it. There is only 2 things that will kill the Swift, one has already happened as there is only one so called factory rifle chambered for it, Cooper.
Remington produced 1 but they are deader than the Swift.
When Ruger quit chambering the round the death bell was banging hard.
What will really kill it is when the last of the boomers go off into the sunset.
Anymore people want the newest fangled thing out there even if it doesn’t do anything different or better. 22.250 AI is only what 70 years old and dying, why because nobody chambers a factory rifle for it. 22.250 is 84 ( also known as the Original Wotkyns Swift) and going strong.
Keep comparing and debating about a 86 year old cartridge.
