Default .220 swift

Can someone give me a few loads for a .220 swift to try? I am interested in getting a friend to reload it for me.

Default RE: .220 swift

Here's two of my favorites. Both use Winchester brass and Remington 9 1/2 primers:

1. 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. 39.0 IMR 4064

2. 50 grain Hornady V-max. 40.0 RL 15

Either one will shoot bullet holes touching in my Remington 700 Classic. Per normal reloading procedures, back off 10% and then work your way up to any full throttle load. Good luck. Roskoe

Disclaimer: these loads worked great in my gun, but might blow your gun up. Proceed with caution.

That is the best disclaimer I've ever seen....

However, you may need to add "and kill you" to the end, or will that be a tad too blunt?
