Remington 700, 220 Swift

CO Cowboy · 04-27-2014, 01:43 PM

Hey Guys,

My Dad gave me a Remington 700 Sondoro II chambered in a 220 Swift for my high school graduation gift. I got a Zeiss Conquest for it and started working up a load for it, my problem is that the best group size I have got with it is just under 1" at 100 yards. I have tried every bullet weight from 55 gr to 40 gr yet I can't seem to get it to shoot any better. The usual three shot group has two holes that are touching but the cold bore shot is usually about an inch off. Any advice is much appreciated!

Congrats on the diploma! What a great round the fastest of varmiters. I'm not a reloader but there's a lot of knowledgeable people here you will get a good answer. Try post in in the new member section that usually gets everyone's attention. Good luck and welcome
