[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 530337, member: 30902"] I shot a .220 swift for years, three of them actually. Very similar to the 22-50. I shot deer and antelope both with that caliber out to 600yds (neck shots only on the long one's). Funniest shot I ever made on large game was a doe I killed with my Ruger #1 .220 swift. I'd been watching her for two hours and it was getting dark and she was grazing ina wheat field and just wouldn't get side ways or look up. Finally I whistled and she didn't raise her head but about a foot and a half off of the ground and looked at me. Pulled the trigger and she did a complete back flip. The bullet had passed through her voice box, ran up between her wind pipe and throat and exploded when it hit her dead center in the spine. The heaviest bullets I ever used were I think 55 or 60gr Ballistic tips. It'll do. [/QUOTE]
