3/2, why get just another "minor caliber" in .22-250 when I already have a Swift?
Let's be HONEST, the -250 was only developed for shooters that for whatever reason were afraid of the Swift...(ducking quickly...
)
But seriously, ever since I was like 10 years old I noticed every time they introduced ANOTHER .22 high velocity round, whether the -250 in the early 1960s, the .224 Magnum, the Winchester .225, and on and on, for some reason they could NOT keep from comparing it to the Swift...which was ALWAYS just a LITTLE bit faster and a LITTLE bit more accurate...."but, you know, just BURNS up those barrels..."
My buddies both have custom -250s, with the same scope I have on my Swift, and they do FINE...but really the only advantage they have over me is their "Dial a dog" Target Turrets which I WILL have next year...
But to be honest, I see no difference in action, range, accuracy or impact between them and the custom .223s they ALSO own..
But you DO see a difference in the Swift in the effects on a dog at any comparable range.
A LOT of .22 centerfires can hit 3500-3600 and be accurate as heck...maybe even my .222 when I get it...
But there IS a difference at 4000 (or more?)
