That rifle is very well thought out and everything matches, looks great, and swifts aren't hard to get to shoot, mine likes Re15, you'll have a lot of fun with that rig.

I shot the 62TSX into 3/4" at 3200fps+,last R&R. Didn'thave time to do the 75A-Max or Scirroco II thing,those a guy's gotta know. Pard bought it for his wife for killing Bucks and after season he is going to punch it 223AI and lengthen the magbox.
Very impressive platform,thus far.................

I'll grab chow,sing Happy B-day for one of the crew and then will run numbers at your expense.
1-14" is the worst thing you could do to a .224" killing rifle,until you went 17"..................

dave(who really should KNOW better) says:
"At practical distances of 600 or less.I dont see a problem with the bullets he'd have to use in the 1-14.And Ill go so far as to say that at 400 yards or less the 1-14 will shoot tighter groups and kill more vermin than the heavy turd chit you like so much.Dont get me wrong.Heavy turds have there place.But if im going to screw with a heavy turd.I would want a bigger gun."
The 14" Swift with a 4000fps .242BC 50V-Max running against a 9" Swift with a 3500fps .435BC A-Max.
At 300yds and both from a 250yd zer. The "heavy turd" arrives on scene 114 fps faster and with more RPM,which do promote frangibilty. Drop is identical,though the 75 eats just 1.7MOA wind to the 50's 2.9MOA.
500yds: The 75 arrives 400fps faster and .2MOA flatter and with 2.3MOA less drift.
600yds: The 75 arrives 510fps faster,drops .9MOA less and is 3.1MOA less affected in like winds.
The 75 arrives at the 725yd line,with the retained velocity of the 500yd 50.
Am happy to muse whatever other brainfarts someone is willing to guess about................

The only deer that I've shot with .224" bore rifles have been 1-shot kills with 60 grain Partitions and 64 grain PPs fired from 1 in 10", 1 in 12", and 1 in 14" ROT 223 WSSMs and 22-250s. All have been whitetails weighing under 150 lbs. and all were shot through the lungs, with the Partitions providing through/through penetration in all cases.
Dead is a finite thing, IOW, a deer can be exponentially dead.
Jeff so you are shooting deer with 60 NPTs and 64 PPs from 14" twist?
Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.

Pwc, bottom line I don't give a [bleep] about your opinion,, if I wanna go 600 to 700 I will break out the Kampfeld .300Win 1/10 and use a heavy turd.

I don't understand your deer hunting with 60 to 75gr .224's either but I don't rant for 10 pages about what a [bleep] tard you really are for doing that, when there are so many better options. I am out..........

BMD,
I thought you said I was on "ignore". I guess you are just as at ease lying,as you are being stupid. Quaint.
The 8" Swift crunches the 14" version,prior to the 300yd line and the gap widens from there. You haven't enough experience to help yourself,let alone someone else...thought it'd be rather funny if you tried. Or you'd no be musing 10" 300Winny notions,though that too will fly over your head.
Killing is easy,if one has a clue and that in and of itself...explains all of your troubles.
Better luck to you on the next build...........
