    Nice shooting Will! The Swift is a great cartridge, legend to the contrary. I've found my Ruger to be marvelously accurate, far better than the shooter.

    But will270win;You are supposed to be farther from the target than 10 feet. LOLOn the serious side, what distance? 100 yds?

    The gene pool needs chlorine.

    100 yds line did everything right. Funny thing is I never heard of bedding the front part of the barrel along with the action. Kinda weird. The load is Sierra BTHP 52 grainer powered by 42.5 grains of W760. I don't think I'll be messing with that load. Came with the gun, no work! Coolest!

    I got a similar group with my VSSF 220 with 40gr Hornady v-max moly coated at 100yds. Try those bullets in a pinch, if you don't have time to reload your recipe or if you leave them home.



    A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.
