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.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

The problem you will probably face is that with an 8 twist using say 75 ELD-M's, they will stick out further than what the magazines of most short actions allow. You might get 1 or 2 in the mag, but the Swift with its semi-rim stacks each round in front of the previous round. You can buy an extended mag for Remington 700 short actions which will fix the issue or you can get a reamer with a very short throat....but then you lose velocity as the projectiles are seated deeper into the case. If you are only shooting up to 225 yards, then no need to run high bc bullets, a 7 twist using the 77 grain all copper Barnes LRX might work with a standard throat without having cartridge over-all length problems. The rifle won't weigh much less as you'd want at least a 24" barrel on a Swift.

It would probably be fun as well as doing the job. Around 3200 fps with the heavies and around 35 grains of powder ain't that excessive, and he can shoot very large varmints such as burros as Ackley did, as well as small ones. That's less powder than the 300 Savage with half the weight projectile for example.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............... In relation to varmint bullets, 70 to around 77 is heavy. H4350 works ok. For high bc match bullets (which we aren't talking about), around 90 grains would be heavy. But Little Stick, make sure you start 10 % below the published max load data and work up very slowly looking for signs of pressure.

I have several 220 Swift rifles and have avoided the tendency to look for fast twist. What you are describing as you use for the rifle, the standard 1/12-1/14 is more than adequate. The reason for the Swift is high velocity, why stifle it’s intent? I shoot 50 grain bullets in mine with fantastic success on varmints and velocity will always trump BC at the ranges you are talking about. I had a Swift custom made by Dennis Olson and he said the same thing and put a 1/12 twist in the rifle and it works great…

I agree with Shrapnel. I had one fast twist and finally had the barrel taken off and told the gunsmith to use it for a tomato stake.

if I was going with those parameters the op listed I'd be building a 22 PPC or variant thereof or a 22BR .. save the powder and recoil

Fast twist Swifts are great. Run a long action. I like the idea, was in the process of building one, but went with a 8 twist 22-250. I could push a 75 grainer pretty good. But, if I were to do it all over again, go 22-6mm or 22-243. Those are the kings of 22 centerfires. Especially spring time coyotes and wind bucking. But the swift is cool. Good luck with your build

Starting velocity,isn't arrival velocity and it's funnier than fhuqk to build a 220 Swift that can't keep pace with an 18" AR in 223. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. BC is the means to which impact velocity adheres and how atmospherics are slipped. An OEM 20" Teeker 223 8" RPM CTR,will fhuqking destroy a 1-12" Swift. .467 BC magfed Smooches,are beyond magnificent. Hint. Not that CLUELESS Fhuqks trying to talk rifles,ain't funnier than fhuqk. Hint. I'm likely sweet on 7" 22 PPC AFI's too. Hint. Hell...I likely even shoot some 7" 22BR. Hint. If only in fhuqking "fairness" I shoot 22-250 in 8" too,but MUCH prefer my 7",over it,my 9's and 14's. Same goes 22-250AI(7",7.75",8",9",12" and 14"). Which of course is a constant in 224 Speedmire(7",7.5 and 8's). I don't gun a .224" bore of more capacity than a CHeetah though. Hint. The STUPIDITY is fhuqking Magnificent Ladies...you "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!? Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Read that again, Hint laffin' Yuk, Yuk...

SchitSmell,
Your STUPIDITY and inabilities are not the bane of all...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?
BC advantages start at the muzzle and simply never wane. The only things you "shoot" are your mouth and Imagination. Pardon my being afforded the luxuries,of simply shooting it all and then some,while you "get" to read about it. Hint.
Do NOT "forget",that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery,you Amazingly Inept CLUELESS Lying Fhuqk. Hint.
