I use a 40 grain in my .22/6mm and it done be fast! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/OdSnE8Z.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/VJWqDaG.jpg) IIRC it was about 65 yards away. Almost as bad on critters as the .460..! DF Edited to add, that looks like a LA Mauser. How does it feed the 6mm case? It is and feeds just fine.

Think i will pick up a 223 takeoff for the 9 twist and rechamber to 220 swift I would think you could go up to 75 gr. with that twist. My 8 twist .22-250 does great with 75's and 80's. The 75 gr. Scirocco is a good one for hogs and WT's. DF

Think i will pick up a 223 takeoff for the 9 twist and rechamber to 220 swift The extra speed will help to stabilize but IME is generally a weak substitute for twist. 50-55 gr at 4K fps is a slam dunk and wicked. I think you’d be good up to 75 gr in a high performance round with 9 twist. The more I think about your project the more I’d lean toward Elks set up. DF

You would really like a 6.5-06 He would, I like my 6.5-284 which is a ballistic twin. But, the OP is wanting to fit a 9 twist .223 take off barrel, chambered for a high stepping .224 round. With that, I'd still recommend Elk's 22/6mm suggestion. That round will run with the .220 Swift and feed a lot slicker thru a bolt action. After a point, you get into diminishing returns with the .224 bore., the 6mm case being about right, IMO. DF
