Will it even begin to group w 60s?
Maybe the chicken and the egg scenario? What are good loads vs will it even shoot "a good load."
Hope it turns out well for you.
Tang safety and red pad?
I had a 14 twist 22-250 and it shot 60 grain partitions well. I tried other heavier bullets and they actually key holed at 100. The Partition is short enough that it works.
Ken Waters used a 77 for his 220 swift pet loads. It was a hammer, he only went up to 55 grains.
Funny you should ask this question, I have been stuck on the computer 10 hours a day so I read at night. Between the old varmint hunter magazines and Pet Loads I have been thinking about a 77 in 220 Swift. No idea why I need one.
Better re read Ken’s notes on the Swift.
He shot 60 grain Hornadys and 63 grain Sierras. The latter he noted as “most accurate load tested”.
I’ve worn out my copies of Pet Loads over the years, Ken was one of my favorite writers.

I just read the supplement to Pet Loads that came out in the early 2000s. in that one he topped out at 55 grains. I was afraid that if I went back and read the original article I’d be looking for a Swift of my own!
