[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2389457, member: 115285"] I am sure glad to see so many people with Swift's! Also using 4064 and 50 to 55 grain bullets. It seems like most of the time now everyone is wanting to use 70 up heavies. I grew up loading for the Swift, using IMR 4064 with 52 grain sierra match king's and CCI BR2 primers in my Dad's pre 64 Model 70 Winchester. I now understand the twist at 1:14 limits it to lighter bullets. I still have 60's vintage Winchester factory 48 grain ammo that actually runs 4100 fps! A while back I found 8 or 10 boxes of 1935 vintage first year production Winchester 220 Swift ammo that looks like brand new! I have not had the urge yet to try one, and given the collector's value probably won't. Anyway, love the Swift, always have, always will! [/QUOTE]
