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.
For your purposes, for how you'll be using this - inside 225 and mostly <100 - you don't need or want fast twist and heavier high bc bullets. Completely unnecessary. You want to blow stuff up not pencil through. If you're set on a Swift, 12 or 14tw and 50/55 varmint bullettls doing 3800 - 4000 or so will demolish anything you hit at those close distances. Trajectory won't even be a factor. My 22-250AI's are in the same velocity neighborhood as a swift and have 14tw. barrels, work beautifully with 50's going fast. Hell, a 12-14tw .223AI will serve your purpose just fine at those ranges with a 40 at 4000/4100 and be a lot more barrel friendly.
