I have a box of 50 new Winchester primed cases. No idea how old they are, but the box is yellow..... No reasonable offer refused!

My 22-250 is quite similar to yours Same twist, heavy barrel with match chamber and tight neck on a Ruger Model 1. It was done by a very well-known gunsmith. It took mine a while to settle down, which seems to be the usual for those 22 caliber hi velocity rifles. I ended up using 220 Swift...

I know what you mean.... Same here with my own bullets and a seemingly recalcitrant new 222. After a lot of load development and not a lot of progress I tried some Detsch bullets that I had been holding onto for a while. That was the key to getting the accuracy I was looking for. Now I have...

I'm using a Weaver T-24...

Thanx for all the help! Out of curiosity, what are you shooting and what kind of groups are you getting? Are you reloading, and if you are, what bullet/powder combos are you using? After reading down through the current replies I think I see at least part of the solution: don't use Hornady...

I've seen several 204 Rugers at the range and have had several of my own. Nary a one of them seems to shoot as well as it should. I was wondering if any of the small caliber experts here have any insights to share on getting this round to shoot well. It seems I can make anything but this...

I had the same problem with a Wilson neck die I kept getting excessive runout on the case neck every time I used the die. Switching to a standard 7/8-14 die would correct the problem, but I needed the Wilson die to work. A call to their factory yielded the answer. He asked if I was using a...

Bullet lead Some use very soft lead because it is easier to form into cores. I was sort of interested to see that Hornady SX 22 caliber bullets use a much harder lead core than most others. I believe it depends on the thickness of the bullet jacket, thicker jackets using soft lead, thinner...

See Mann's "The Bullet's Flight". There's a section on what was called Plank Shooting. All your questions will be answered.....

Just my opinion I have both calibers in my gun safe. The Swift was one of the VSSF Ported models and it shot like a house on fire for about 2,000 rounds and then completely gave out. That was using a load of IMR 3031 and a 55 gr. 7 ogive bullet that I make. I also have a 22-250 that was...

Swift Barrel Life My Remington 220 Swift lasted about 2,000 rounds before it started shooting patterns instead of groups. I was using IMR 3031 and 55 gr bullets at around 3700 FPS. I used it for about 8 years to hunt chucks and it acquitted itself in excellent fashion. After the throat moved...
