What???? Hey Ranger do you own a 220 Swift? These are varmit rifles and the Swifty is 200'/sec faster that the 22-250 with the 50 to 55 gr bullets. If you are a reloader, the Swift has no peer....none .....nada period. It's like comparing the 30'06 with most other cartridges.......the Swift is just superior. Regards, Rick.
Not according to Federal's catalog. Please post your data and source.
Federal's .220 and .22-250 offerings
are about 200 fps apart, but not with 50 or 55 gr. bullets IIRC.
Federal's finest offerings in both calibers are only 200 fps apart and trajectory is less than1 inch apart at 500 yards.
.220 doesn't retain nearly the energy downrange either.
