[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1936190, member: 101791"] I have a 220 Swift with a 1-14 twist bull barrel in Mauser 98 action. Purchase it in the 70's I load 55 gr. Sierra Bullets and running out at 3900 fps. You would have to look very close at the target after shooting 5 round at 100 yds to know that all rounds were almost hitting in the same spot, and not going somewhere else other than going in the same hole. Great ground squirrel rifle out to 400 yds. I haven't used the rifle in a great many years, but shortly I will be bring it out to shot short tail squirrels here in Montana. During that time of hand loading I didn't weight cases, cut necks, de bur the flash hole, nor set up coal neither. Fun rifle to shot, and costs to hand load is cheap. Make sure you lube your case before resizing the case, check for case straight after shoot several time, and watch overall length and trim as needed. SSS [/QUOTE]
