My new Swift has a long throat. I've got some "test loads" ready to go with some Staball6.5, probably get to try them this coming week.

Swift powders that work the best? Accuracy, velocity, and NOT sensitive to summer temperatures. I’ve used plenty of the old standard IMR 4064 along with H414 and a little of the 2700, VV160, Varget (sucked) What else is there that HAS supplied the prerequisites?

Went to the range today, among other things to check the zero on one of my 22-250s. A few minutes after confirming zero…. Out pops a couple young dirt grizzlies right next to the 100 yard berm. Is this cheating? :p Older Varmint Special 22-250.

I’ll bet it does shoot! They are sweet little rifles and a pleasure to carry in the field

I now have 3 of the those Arken 6-24x50 and they are pretty darn good especially for the money.

Love my little Cooper 223ai, have not taken any coyotes with it yet, plenty of ground hogs and a few fox. I mostly use it if I’m trying to keep the noise down compared to my Swift or 22-250s. I believe it’s a 12 twist, I shoot 50 - 55 grain loads. BenchMark is tough to beat accuracy wise but TAC...

I'm working on loads now for my '06 that I'm taking to S.A. 168 grain TTSX at around 2900 should do the trick for plains game.

That's because every time that someone offers some up for sale, I buy it ;) It does come up on the forums, you just have to keep your eyes open and pounce on it. Good luck

VV 160 is clean burning and the right burn rate, I used it my 6mmai.

Older blue bag Winchester over the HornDaddy all day! Norma is also available.

My rifle is the older factory 9 twist, bone stock.

My 243 loves the 75 grain Vmax and 95 grain ballistic tips with IMR 4350

Yea, It took me .5 seconds to tell the guy that I would take it! I probably shouldn't have hesitated that long LOL

I thought so too, especially when you see what they bring in today’s market.
