Default RE: Weatherby should adopt the .220 Swift

I can tell you how it got beat out of the market.The old rifles that it was chambered in burned the barrels out really fast so it got that rap tagged on it a long time ago.I have had mine for about 6 years and I do reload for it.It out did my 22-250 pretty easy.

The problem is also in todays market there is no cheap .220 ammo out there.Most manufactures dont chamber it and it looks like ruger dropped it from there list.Thats a shame some people dont know what they are missing.

As far as it being the king of varmint rifles,I would agree with that,Here is the saying its almost as good/fast as the .220 swift.I agree the .223 sells the most but,the specs dont lie! I think if you are talking it down --you havent experinced it yet.
