22o swift 36- 50gr.varmit grenade loads

i have a 220 swift in remington, the vssf II, and i wanted to try these bullets, but on the box it's write for the 223 only, need a 1:9 or 1:10 twist to stabilize them if i remember good, but all i know it won't fit into a 1:14 twist.

Yeah. Barnes says that they will not stabilize properly in a normal twist rate barrel on the likes of the 22-250 or the others using a 14 twist as standard. It's because they are very long for their weight. Longer bullet needs faster twist rate.

The 36 VG are supposed to stabilize though. I'd think that one of those out of a Swift would about make a gopher vanish when it was hit! Have not heard of any issues with pushing the small VG's too fast, but there may be.

my barrel is a 1:10" twist BRNO with heavy barrel 24"
I think it will stablize.factory loads are 50 gr.
gotta try em .........you load 42.gr.varget yourself?min load ?or max?
barnes doesn't list it for 220 swift .
can't let fear and common sense hold it back
 
I tried some of the 50 grain VG's in a 1:14 Swift.
I actually didn't notice the note on the box for the twist requirements.

My best group at 100m was ~ 4"x5" :redface:
