[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 882519, member: 61747"] I agree with all of it. Loved my swift. Spit 55 grain bullets at blistering speed but the twist of the barrel didn't allow me to shoot heavier pills. I guess it depends on what you want to do. I would put a good scope on a 223, get a good ballistic program, and have fun. I see absoluetly nothing wrong with a 223 within its range of limitations. The only thing the swift or 22-250 goes is give you more range. That is the question I think you have to answer. How far do you want to shoot..... I should have my Leupold back in a week or so. Having m1 turrets installed so I can shoot the 204 with precision. I have a B & C drop reticle that is fine for larger targets but I want to dial for shooting small stuff. My go to load is at 3800 fps with a 40 gr pill. It shoots .15 MOA consistently. I would like to use that BC, speed, and accuracy for once. ha ha. Thought about putting my Night Force on it but my 6.5-284 is set up and I don't want to touch it. I hope the turrets will get me what I want out of it. [/QUOTE]
