I just acquired a bunch of .220 swift ammo and was wondering if I should look into a rifle purchase or to just sell the ammo. I read they push over 400 fps.
Any .220 swifters out there????

Re: Any .220 swifters out there????
they can and will with the 40gr bullets. I had a couple of rems that were very accurate with 55gr ballistic tips. one would make clover leafs all day long. Recently, 2 months ago, I sold my ruger which for the money was probably the best one I had overall because I have not been prairie dogging in a long time and have to many 223's not to take them along when I do go again. I will miss it because it was a great gun. If you have the extra coin get one, if not sell the ammo. It is getting a premium right now.

It's a zippy round, but not much more capable than a 22-250 or even a 223 for what I want a 22 for... but...

Considering that all ammo is in short supply right now, and that 220 Swift is not a commonly stocked caliber, it might be worth some decent money to those that already own one. Do a little searching in GunBroker and you might be able to sell that ammo for enough cash to give you a good start on a rifle in a caliber that you really want.

The shitty thing is that its all match reload ammo from new brass. The guy that reloaded it passed away. I have shot a lot of his .223 and it is some damn good ammo. I dont know if I can legally sell reloads. I think I have 275 rounds and a bunch of brass. He was super anal and everything in the reloading process was documented.
