[QUOTE="436, post: 2322615, member: 16609"] .220 Swift of course one of the all-time greats. I shot one for many years hunting Yotes, an amazing cartridge, along with my, .22-250 and .224 Wby Mag, but in the end, in the order of usage for most Yote hunts it was, .220 Swift 55gr, .223 Rem 80gr, .224 Wby Mag 50gr, and last but always a top contender my... .22-250 Rem 65gr. But I digress; the idea was, recoil mitigation the .223 Rem pound for pound is the winner hands down with an 80gr plus bullet. I love the old-school cartridges like the .250/3000 Sav and even the 6mm International based on it, one of the reasons I re-barrel my... .22-250 Wby MkV miniature action hunting rifle to a 6XC after talking with Tubb one year shooting next to him at Raton NM. In the pic is the re-barreled MkV Wby Varmintmaster .22-250 too 6XC and the bottom is my other MkV Wby Varmitmaster in .224 Wby Mag, these are very lightweight and trim hunting rifles great to walk with all day. Back to .25 cal, the softest shooting .25 caliber I ever owned was a Remington Model 14 in .25 Rem... great shooting little pump rifle with "very little" recoil, the ones we let get way over the years, darn. The bottom pic is my old Rem 700 .220 Swift with a Yote that thought he could outrun it! Cheers [ATTACH type="full"]307011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]307019[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
