verminator1977 0 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Does any one own a 220 swift calibre rifle? I am trying to get some ammo at the moment and I cant find a single Firearms dealer that has any in 220 swift. Ideally I would like Federal Nosler Ballistic Tip in 40gr. Any suggestions as to where I might be able to purchase some. Quote Link to post

john robbo 30 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I run a 22250 and would suggest using a heavier bullet in a swift than a 40gr.(if you love your barrel anyway). My experience is they were fast and very flat (4108 fps in a 22"barrel). The trouble was they never penetrated foxes at all simply splashed on the surface reasulting in very wounded foxes. These were handloaded 40gr blitz kings they worried me as to what barrel wear was going to result. I would source some 55gr for a swift. Regards John. Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 ask your local dealer to bring in a supply, but get him/her to quote you a price per box first. Snap. Quote Link to post
