You have a 220 swift, Wanna sell it?


Winchester sells a white box of 40 gr 22-250 bullets that will do that velocity. Also, .338 RUM or Lapua with a light bullet will do it as well. But let's use your Swift and a SMK. The answer would be, dip wads who believe the things they are interested in are the only things worth being interested in are juvenile.

Assumptions not stated by dip wad listed.

You are making assumptions with your alligator mouth that are not redily supported by your canary ass.
It is highly unlikely that you will find a light enough bullet to go into .338 brass that will exceed 4000fps.
This leaves the 22-250 and the 220 swift as the only bullets that will exceed the 4000 fps mark.


There are lots of bullets that will break 1200 m/s. The reason you don't see it in big bores like a .338 is barrel life and the fact that you don't pick up a .338 intending to shoot light bullets. The BC drops fast and it doesn't make it marketable, stable, cheap or comfortable.



Which leaves the 220 swift and the 22-250 as I said.
Your canary ass is still singing the same song.
