.220 Swift Shooters

[Doug Casner]

As you can see , the old swift will burn about anything from 4895 to 4831. I got the best groups in mine with imr 4350. 4064 was always what alot of people shot. Doug

Mine is a Wilson Arrow and loves H-4831.

I went a different route and found rl15.5 to shoot well in mine. ~1/2 in mine with 55 bst

Yea, burned a lot of IMR 4064 in my Swifts over the years. Recently I have used 2700, H414/760 and also VV160, all with fine results

I always used H414 in my swifts, had a few of them. 55 grain bullet with WLRM primers, a load that was given to me and always worked well. Winchester 760, what you’ve already tried, is the same as H414.
