Default RE: Weatherby should adopt the .220 Swift

Agreed CJ, I believe the .220 swift was around before either. How a newer .22-250 was marketed and ended up beating out the .220, while offering less performance I will not understand. Sure the .223 will sell more, being a miliatry round and all, aside from that not really sure why someone would want a .223 over a .22-250 or .220swift.

Less you get a cheap rifle in it used military rifle or something. Cheaper ammo? How much is a box of .223? .22-250?

I'm just going to have to start my own rifle company like weatherby, and I'll only chamber the .220swift, and put my name on the box too. What else should I have in my proprietary line? I think .220 swift and 6mm Rem cover the .223 and .243 calibers, what else?
