I think the 6000 FPS out of the .223 is a bit of an exaggeration but should be easily done in the Swift, if not 7000.
Aint going to happen in a Swift or even Ackleyized Swift Smokeless powder has a maximum expansion rate in the neighborhood of 5,500 fps. Realistically you might be able to get as high as 5,000 fps.
Now then, if you decided to replace your powder of choice with a little dab of C4 that expands at over 26,000 fps (almost 5 miles per second) you could win a few bets over the chronograph. You'd just have to figgure out how to overcome the problem of embedding small pieces of barrel in your face.
