[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 432852, member: 2736"] The 220 Swift is a very good performer and is only bested by some of the big wildcats and the 223 WSSM in velocity. I have built many of them and they all shot well under 1/2 MOA and the velocity is over 4000 ft/sec with Factory ammo and can be loaded faster if you want to. Factory ammo is available and does not cost an arm and a leg. With this cartrige there is no real reason to wildcat and deal with fire forming and special dies. The twist should be 1 in 12 for 50 to 60 grain bullets. 1 in 14 will work but if you wanted to use 70 grain bullets it is marginal. The 1 in 14 is best for 35 to 50grain bullets. If you like the Swift go with the standard SAAME Swift and don't look back. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
