[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2035445, member: 101791"] So with all the new rifles out trying to best the old 220 swift. It's a great cartridge. My understanding keeping the velocity below 4000 fps cut down on the burning out the barrel. That would have to be with any bullet doing more than 4000 fps. I have listen to several gunsmiths talk about the 22-250, and go on to the 220 swift. Saying that most move onto the swift. My rifle shot great with any of the bullets, 52,53,55, and 63 grain bullets. My go to powder was IMR4064. When I did the most shooting the swift, I didn't weight brass, cut necks. I just full length size the case and load again. I use a straight 20 powder scope on it. [/QUOTE]
