but i can shoot .442 with that little 10in xp-100 221fb. my xp has cost all my hunting friends a bunch of dollars over the past 10yrs. i love smoking them with it.
the 22-250 has been very accurate for me
i shoot 35gns of imr 3031 behind a 50gn v-max w/CCI BR primers

.....Quite possible. But did you do it during LOAD DEVELOPMENT as well, as was stated by the other poster previously? And remember, it "never shot OVER .442 with anything"...
I've spent far too many years on the bench both loading and shooting to swallow that one. Sorry.

I'm just wondering how many of these people will actually be present AND willing to put up gun against gun with winner taking both when I get done building my latest rifle and work a load up?

I had both and I ended up with my .220swift.Both were ruger m77 vt targets.I think its more the history of it then the difference.They are real close with the swift a slight edge. If you can get a good deal on a swift I would get it,I just dont buy the saying ammo is hard to get,if you nave that cartridge then plan ahead.If you reload they are both easy to load.I like my swift load 43gr H414,hornaday brass,winchester large rifle primer,40gr hornaday vmax. It shoots great for me
