Is anyone running around killing varmints with a fast twist 220 swift.
If so tell me about the rifle.
What is the twist rate
What is the lightest bullets that it likes, as well as heavies
ETC
Thinking about having a lightweight swift built
99.8 % of all shots we have are inside of 225 yds with the biggest share less than 100. Don't see a need to pack a heavy barreled rifle around.
Torqued,
As others have said, if you're simply shooting at 225 or less and even more so under 100, don't waste your time on a fast twist Swift. Per Stick, there are better options due to mechanics. Since you already have all the brass, you could even get away with an old school saami 14 twist, running 55 grain bullets at 3800+, or 50's at 3900+ fps. Those 2 options would absolutely vaporize varmints within your stated ranges. Heck, even a saami spec 223 with a high BC bullet, like a 75 ELD, won't really hang at those ranges...and definitely won't provide the same explosive affect/fun factor. Over 300 though, the advantages deteriorate rapidly.
