I wonder if the "semi-rim" of the 220 Swift would be enough to headspace off of and to use as a basis for a wildcat? Maybe .240 Weatherby Brass blown our straight to head space off the belt?

I just made a belted 405 Winchester out of Quality Cartridge 400 Whelen brass. It is like a long 240.........it shoots a 210 grain TSX at 3000 FPS. A tad bit complicated, but a point blank range of 300 yds. https://photos.app.goo.gl/K3rvSmEg1qX1wRHS7Case is length is. 2.580" Bullets: https://photos.app.goo.gl/K3rvSmEg1qX1wRHS7

.....or open the bolt face and rails and do a .458 Winchester or .458 Lott - have a couple of friends that went the Lott route and they are shooting 300 grain Barnes TTSXs at nearly 2900 FPS. I told them I thought that ought to be enough gun😄.
Ohio probably needs to re-examine the whole straight-walled case thing🤔

I’ve got a beater Remington 600 in 222 that I am considering rebarreling to 350 Legend or 450 BM for Ohio deer hunting. Despite all the shortcomings of the 350 it is a reasonable choice for straight-wall states. I really wish there was a good 308 bolt face option in straightwalls as I don’t want to mess with wildcats either.

The 450 Bushmaster is a 308 bolt face straight wall cartridge.
The 350 Legend is .223 bolt face.

Well that’s what I get for jumping to conclusions based on it being made for the AR15 platform! Thanks
