This is a funny one 22-250 shoot flatter than a Swift. I've been a Swift shooter ever since Remington came out with the Classics in 92. I have sold traded or tore up my 250's to build or get something better,,,,a Swift. I shoot 55gr V Max's at 3850 and can run them faster. You can't do that with any 250 unless you AI it.
Back to the original question,,,shoot both. I never cared for the 243 but like the 6mm Remington. I have both the 6 and Swifts teamed up. Hands down I'm always reaching for a Swift over the 6. I have a new Swift in and just sighted the VXIII. I soon should have a few dead bodies posted with it.
Oh, another thing, Old Purp in the pic is my 1st Swift that I bought back in 92. She's still putting dogs in the dirt and 1/2'' groups on paper. I have no idea how many V Max's have gone down her tube,,,,,lots. So much for a Swift being a barrel burner. I have no qalms in saying I've probably already shot more dogs with that Swift than most callers will in their lifetime and I'm still racking up numbers. It's all in how you take care of your gun and shoot it.
