.All things been equal the swift will be a better choice over the .223 every time!
I'm not denying that the .220 swift is a fantastic round, But perhaps put that in a category of its own!
I'm talking about .223 in factory loads. Not swifts in tailor made loads0 -

Well the way I see it is some people DO IT (Dwighet)
And some people only TALK about DOING IT (TACK)0 -

I discuss the pros and cons before I do anything or buy anything Clive. I have broken clays @600 with a 6.5mm (witnessed BTW) but I am talking about a .223 not a 6.5 or otherwise.
I'm in the middle of exams at the moment, currently listening to recorded lectures on moodle whilst writing on this. I'm taking Dwighets advise with the twist rate for the .223.
As soon as I finish college for the summer Clive, i can't wait.
I will be doing a lot of long range, just in time with the silage cutting so rabbits will stick out like sore tumbs in fields
And if I help a few folks with the same interest as me in long range varminting along the way then all the better.
By asking questions online more than I get the benefit of the answers. No point in Tribal knowledge known only by a few and never shared. by sharing info we raise the bar on a hole

I have just sat my third year BSc exams, Computers Multimedia now, 2 weeks ago (and this will be my second BSc, Computers IT Support in the bag, over 6 years + Cisco CCNA) so I share your pain at exam time.
You best get your head down and listen to Moodle and stop looking at Boards.ie:D0 -

I agree, I've shot and witnessed bunnies shot with .220swift .223 .222 5.6x57, 6.5x55, .308 and .270
The .223 and .220 swift were the most devestating.
The large calibres just buried into the ground after going through bugs bunny.
So I'm going with Trueflite Kiwi barrels 1/10 28"
I have a team of 3 assembled to test fire so it can be tested to the best of it's abilities also. get the average group of the 3 and the best group of three.
I would not put myself in the class of these shooters but if I can come close I will be more than happy!:D:D0 -

I think you have made a good choice...
28 inch tube you will be gettn some serious speed...close to 204 cal but not quite..
your definitely on the right track for wat ya want...fair play..and good luck wit it....
have you considered a 22/250 or 243? for wat your arfter or are you trying to pussh the 223 to the max? just curious...thats all.
Push the .223 to the max. Us Irish had our .223's and .308's taken in 73. So now that we got them back we want to hold on to them
I'm a fan of the .243 but and the .22/250.
Just not on my list at the mo
I always was fascinated with the .223 Just because I could not have it.
Just out of Interest In Oz, how many firearms can one have?
And what are the limitations?0 -
