Loads for 1-8 twist 220 Swift?

Guys,
Can I get some pet loads for a fast twist Swift? 28" barrel with 1-8 twist; I plan on trying 75gr, 77gr, or 80 gr bullets. I have access to a wide variety of powders. I would appreciate hearing load suggestions. ;)

Regards,
Bill
 
Bill, I don't have any pet loads for a Swift with an 8 twist but I have such a beast on the drawing boards. Just waiting on my barrel. I already have reamer, action, stock etc. I would think that any powder slower than H414 should work well and I will probably start with H4350 and powders around that burn rate. If i see nothing super there then I'll go slower in the burn rate chart. You can PM me as I have Quickload and if you pick 3 powders I can come up with a safe starting point for you with your choice of bullet.

I am running 36.5 grains of H4831SC with the 75 Sciroco or 77 Sierra Match King. BR-2 primer in R-P case. Don't know speed but shoots good and kills coyotes.

Howdy !

My wildcat .224" - .35Rem had nearly same case capacity as the Swift.

From a 28" K & P SS 5-groove .224" caliber barrel, my best accuracy load/field load was:
40.5gr AA3100 and FED LR Match under Hornady 75 "A-Max " for 3,420fps.

Same load w/ just a primer switch to FED LR Magnum Match gave 3,500 honest; with some opening of the groups.

Howdy, again !

With you AA3100, be sure to try a variety of different primers... if you are able.

Just the FED primer swap in quoted load to FED Magnum Match, was good for a 75+ fps boost in Mv. Conversly, going w/ the FED LR Match primer resulted in not much vel loss, while groups shrank nicely.

With regards,
