Today I tried 55 gr Vmax Hornady bullets with 36.5 grs. of Varget in my Ruger #1 .220 Swift. It shot better than anything I have ever tried!  whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

It shot better than anything I have ever tried! whelennut I would have to agree with ya on that, mine using that load shoots a low to middle .3 five shot groups at 200. Only buddies at the range say it gives a good fireball out the barrel. AA2700 does about the same for groups, but no fireball, kinda ruins the fun  Swifty

Man this stuff is funny, I am glad I have a life and I choose to spend it wisely doing fun things, like enjoying my hobby, rather than go after guys like Bigstick, that over the years seems to have picked up a few things and shot a hell of a lot more than most, and appears willing from what I understand from people that know him to help someone out that is genuinely asking for help and will listen.  Now as far as his earlier career, spent in the woods, I am not sure how much he knows,  heck I will post my latest aquisition to show how much I know about cutting wood,  and the fine tools required for said job.  this is a priceless (because I got it free) example of a real mans saw.  Now lets see BS top that!  ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v135/partsman/IMAG0156.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v135/partsman/IMAG0158.jpg)

Actually Stick I'm going to bite. I'd like to hear about what else you shoot besides .224 cal., and I'm not being sarcastic.
I know you prefer .224 but you have to have other cartridges. I will put this to rest, does he have other calibers? I personally know a person who has stayed at Sticks house, and I was told that his house is full of guns.

"Full" is subjective...if only because Big Momma thinks it's fuller than I do..............(grin)
