[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 522212, member: 5217"] Can't help you on either tried both in the same set up you have except for a bit of work ( lapped lugs, trigger ect) neither showed any promise for me so I shelved them both. Both work very well in 22-250 and other cartridges. If you want consistant loads there are 2 powders to try the first is H-414 the second is H-4831. 414 is pretty temp sensitive but it does work well with 40-55 grain bullets.H-4831 excells with 55 grain bullets and is much more stable than 414 plus you will be working with 100% case capicity perhaps more depending on the size of your chamber and your fireformed brass. I have better es sd and accuracy with a compressed load of 4831 than any other powder I have tried wth 55's I do give up 100-175 fps vers max charges in other powders but accuracy is excellent , you can always deal with drop that is not a problem with a bit of range work. Wind is a bit more fun with .224's and light bullets. Your rifle is unique but I have not yet seen a factory rifle chambered in swift that would not shoot with 414 or 4831 I am sure some exist but I have not run into one yet. Keep your barrel cool keep your barrel clean and neck size. Because of the semi rim and the throat length on your factory barrel expect to load her one at a time or one in the mag and one up the pipe as you will probably find that 2.68" oal is not your best set up for accuracy that the swift is capable of. The mags on the vssf's are just too short for the throat length, you might find a load that will fit the mag for a single down but if you want to fill her up 2.68 is max and 2.64 is better. [/QUOTE]
