Thanks all. I will get some components ordered up.
If factory just get a box of Remington, Winchester or Federal 55 grain soft points and start killing.
If handloading in a 14 twist I would try either the Hornady 55 grain SP or Sierra Gameking 55 grain.
I have seen several truckloads of deer shot with the Sierra from 222, 223, 22-250 and the Swift, they cannot handle it when put in the lungs and are usually DRT. Also heard excellent things about the Hornady 55 SP.
Go over to24hourcampfire and look at Scenarshooters posts, guy has killed tons of game, somewhat large and small with the Hornady loaded in a Swift. Give it a look.
