I like to argue. Especially when I'm right.



Travis

Obviously!!!

I'll pay for the hangovers.

Make sure you invite your buddy Thomasmagnum.

Do you like Bourbon?

I've been known to have a Bourbon or two...

Deflave, I may take you up on your offer, but will have to stop well before the HUNGOVER part.. Age is catching up with me.. Have a good one..

I like my bourbon neat. With no "twist" of any sort.

Damn, I crack myself up.

I have never met Thomas.

I like beer more.


Travis

Consider yourself invited.


Travis

...Yeah, but you know you want to.

Deflave, Thanks..Like wise to you...

Twist Shmist, I put my ammo that I run through a Dillon 650 into my rifles and shoot the snot out of whatever it is I'm aiming at. I don't worry about arguing with anybody, I just shoot and I do shoot copious quantities of ammunition, killing every critter that has walked or crawled around Montana.

I don't have any idea what the twist is in any of my rifles, furthermore I don't care and nothing I have ever shot has asked me about it either...

40-65 is where it's at.


Travis

Kirk,

Aren't you the guy who insisted plastic-tipped bullets were way too expensive, until you actually shot some, both on paper and varmints?

Oh, schidt, I forgot, that was me!

Nice groups. Just whats a 9 twist got to do with it though.

OP at this time, would definitely not consider a swift unless you absolutely love the thing. You only got 3 brass suppliers and RP, and WW only ran it seasonally before all this BS. Right now its pricey if and when you can find it. Norma is the only other brass manufacturer.
Damn my LGS doesn't even stock the Swift in factory ammo, no demand.
Ruger dropped the caliber as have all others except Cooper and 1 model of Remington. Otherwise its pretty much dead as a factory round.

For your purpose any good 223 or 204 would serve you well in this part of the country, as would a 6 mm flavor of choice.

It's been said that quick twist (for caliber) and light bullets aren't accurate. Apparently not.

This schit is always [bleep] hilarious,as there is a herd of dumbfhuckers talking squarely out there azz!

Gibby is on an EPIC [bleep] roll,poor stupid [bleep] Shrapnel is beyond clueless and NotSoSwift feels compelled to give things a whirl...and all of 'em bolted together,couldn't sneak up on a glass of [bleep] water. Wow +P+!

Still waiting for one of these dumbfhucks to extoll the "merits" of a 1-16" 30-'06. Laffin'! Enjoyed the Palma Ruse,as that was CLASSIC.

Apparently it has become "fashionable" for them who shoot the least,to Imagine the most and then to Pretend a clue. In the Real World,extry RPM simply hedges a bet and connects dots. It will slip atmospheric conditions in a non-lineal fashion,add copious impact velocity and reduce drop...if only for starters. I VERY much enjoyed the notion,that one has to holster velocity too,with more twist RPM,as that one was especially [bleep] funny!

Easy for me to say,if only because I've 7,8,9,10,12 and 14" twist spouts in like .224" chamberings and am afforded the luxury of not being forced to guess. Though in fairness,when it comes to Swift case capacity,I go no faster than 1-7.7",though I do still slum some 14's there as well.

If your .224 won't spin a 75A-Max,you are simply pizzing up a rope and that means 8" or 9",depending upon case capacity. Wanna see some cross-eyed drooling dumbphucks stutter?!? Ask the above Dreamers about the "particulars" of their high RPM Swift capacity .224's and brace yourself for the incredibly long list of excuses.

Here's to their Imaginations and to just how [bleep] badly they need it!

Coffee is makin',crummy is warmin' and there's more than a coupla fast twist .224's gettin' poked inside same,along with a coupla high RPM 243AI's and I just might tote a few upper echelon BC .284's too.

I'd best let the gals get back to their Pretend.

Laffin'!


P.S...and by the way. 155 Scenars at 3600fps outta a 1-10" don't suck either.




Laffin'!

Its also been said on here that you have to have a fast twist in order for em to shoot. Apparently not.

No - that's NOT what was said. Please show where someone said you had to go quick on the light bullets to get them to shoot.

What's been said is a quick twist offers MORE options than a slow one and one shouldn't ever reduce their options.

Building slow offers ZERO advantage over quick but it's been claimed that quick twist wasn't as accurate as slow. That's what I'm refuting. The pictures of quick twist with light bullets disprove that rather handily. Quick twist will ALSO shoot long/heavies accurate. It does BOTH where as slow twist is a one trick pony with the light ones.

And yes - I know BR guys typically build with the twist that will just stabilize their intended bullet but the OP ain't building a BR rifle and bullet quality has improved a good bit since that became the "rule of thumb" for people.

I don't recall anyone saying that...

This. Why limit yourself to light bullets with that much potential at the helm, ie. case capacity for the bore.

The 14twist will stabilize 40's just fine. They'll be quite a bit over 4000. And 50's, and 55's. It's been 20yrs since I bought any Swift brass. But if as someone said, the stuff is hard to get, build a 22-250AI......shoot 50's from 4150 to about 4250.
