If you've a 1/12 twist, may I suggest this:

Swift Scirocco II
62gr. ballistic boat tail
BC = .307

Or

Nosler
60gr. ballistic tip Boat tail
BC= .270

While they are both heavier & require a faster twist barrel than a standard 220 Swift barrel, they are great yote killers when you wish to reach out and touch them at 400 yds & get nice sure 1 shot kills on even the big northern yotes that can go 50+ lbs.

I don't own a 220 Swift myself, but I've shot 22-250's for over 40 years. Were the factory loads & high grade brass easier to get I'd have to have a Swift.

I"m thinking real hard about a 22 CHeetah for my next speed gun. Will allow me use of Lapua brass & faster than a 22-250 or Swift.

But the Swift is a great round & you guys are rightly very proud of your rifles.
