Besides that, the 220 brass I have dealt with absolutely sucked, not to mention the amount of case trimming required given the case design. Last but not least, there is very little actual velocity increase over the 22-250. IME anyways.


I use W/W brass in my Ruger #1. Good stuff, no problems. Plenty of ammo available at my shop.

I'm not knocking the .22-250, as it's a great round. But, as you framed your statement, implying that the .220 Swift is somehow a lesser round, I was taken aback somewhat. The .220 Swift has a distinguished history and performance record. Mine is a keeper.
