[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 76609, member: 10"] Alucard, On that size game the 40s will offer a bit more "POP" if you will, especially with a tipped bullet. The 55s will offer you more ranging ability with less wind drift and still offer dramatic red mists. I would base it on what range you want to shoot at and which shoots best in your rifle. Some Swifts tend to not like 55 gr tipped bullets if they have a 1-14 factory twist, some do. Nealy all shoot the 50s very well. You may want to compromise and shoot a 50 gr tipped bullet, get most of the velocity of the 40 gr pills and better ranging and wind drift numbers as well. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
