Title: 220 Swift Range Report
Post by: tipmover on June 28, 2008, 10:44:58 AM
Did some fine tuning today.
Me a couple of buddies have a Prarie Dog shoot planned in a couple of weeks.
I think this combo will do the job :eyebrow:
The rifle is a Remington Sendero style. Nikon Monarch 6-20 x 44, Near bases, Mark V rings, Rifle Basix trigger tuned at 12 oz., bedded action.

The load is 34.5 gr of Varget pushing 55 gr Berger's @ 3420 fps. Norma neck sized brass. Pretty tame load for this caliber, but it super accurate.
Here is a 3 shot group @ 100 yards.
