I see nothing wrong with letting the Swede out of the barn, letting it run with the fast dogs...
I agree with it being especially suited for heavier bullets. I have some loaded in Lapua brass with 147 ELD-M bullets over a healthy charge of RL-26. There have been promising reports on that combo.
My Swede also likes the 155 Lapua Mega and 139 Lapua, both over MRP (pretty close to RL-22).

Swift bullets are "grabbier" than gilding metal jacketed ones, so maybe he's giving you a large safety factor. I have found this with the 100gn Scirocco in the .257 Roberts. I load 46gn H4350/100gn Scirocco to get the same velocity (3 100fps) as other 100gn bullets with 47gn H4350. The Swift seems to give higher pressures than other similar weight bullets. Sorry to get off track. That's exactly what I'm saying. The Scirocco's generate higher pressures for sure. I too load them in the .257 Roberts, but haven't had much luck in the accuracy department with them. What's your recipe for the 257? I see you use H4350, but what primer, case and COAL? My 257 is a Model 70 Featherweight.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

OK I just have to ask what the heck is this about and what does it have to do about short and long actions? A simple mind I guess, isn't the bore, chamber, and barrel in front of the action?
A short action cartridge gives you a 5% increase in bore to barrel ratio....roughly. (DollarShort quote)

My 257 is a Model 70 Featherweight. Not too unlike VLD's and other long ogive bullets, SSII's can be COAL sensitive. If they don't shoot, jump them more. I'm thinking if you find their sweet spot, accuracy may surprise you. DF
