Looking to Learn
I was just curious if anyone here shot .220 swift and reloaded...
strongly advocate for Redding bushing dies. don't full length size until you have to. cases last longer. I had same problems with .22-250 and have since gone to only the Ackley version of that case. I know a guy with the 220 Swift AI chambered in two rifles. THAT is a screamer. Brass lasts forever though.
I second the warning about certain bullets tending to pop. I would stick to pills that are designed for the highest speeds. Nosler BTs and their cheaper Varmageddon line work well. the Berger .22 target bullets tend to hold together well at extreme speeds (read 4400fps or better with 40s).
rock, I'm a varmint gun junkie (and a wildcat case junkie, but that's another story!). I've owned or tried a lot of different stuff til I settled down to mainly my Ackleys and BR based stuff for whistlepigs, yotes, etc.
rock, all yours brother. you posted first. (and i'm sitting on a lot of varmint gun brass!). I shoot my 22-250AIs as my go-to guns (i hate trimming). the man only wants some 9mm. worth it. take the old parts to a show or just scrap em.
Id like to unload the entire shoebox full if possible, tools and all

rock,
That's the way to do things. Stand up is what separates the shooters from those that oppose us. More than enough enemies without, so let's do right by each other within. As for 6x47, I assume you mean the 222 rem mag based wildcat. Thanks, but I never go into that. Almost bought a sweet 6x45 on a Sako, but passed. The only 6x47 I have worked with is the 6x47Lapua (6.5x47L necked down). It's a mixed bag. did one up for a buddy in Delaware a few years ago. It's a HAMMER. Others that have them are mixed. Some say its very hard to tune. My favorite 6 is the straight 6BR, as it is stupid easy to tune, has reasonable barrel life for a 6, and gets enough speed for 1000yd paper shooting on calm days. The larger cases just foul too much, especially in tight twist tubes. I go to .30s for real long range. If you have 6BR or 284Win brass, I'd be happy to trade or buy though!
