Re: Head-to-head- -- 22-250-Remington-vs-220-Swift...

Interesting article. I built up a swift on a Mauser98 action using a 26" Bevin King barrel.

While it is difficult to get my current model 700 22-250 to shoot under an inch to 3/4", the Swift did it with every bullet I tried in it, from 40gr. Varminators to 55gr. Speer and Hornady Spitzers.

I like them both as I've had several other 22-250's over the years, but only that one Swift. All of my other 22-250's shot like match rifles, right out of the box. The current one, no so.

The brass I bought for the Swift was RP and was the most consistent drawn brass I've had in the small calibres. I am referring to neck wall thickness variation.

Out of almost 500cases, which was purchased out of a single lot (whatever it was?) neck walls on over 1/2 of them, was less than .0005", with only 20 or so cases as much as .0015". This was BR quality brass and might have been partially responsible for the accuracy I enjoyed out of that barrel. It turned Columbia Ground Squirrels into mist & small chunks.
