i never got the 55s to shoot very well, unless you consider minute of buffalo good shootin.
50s shoot worls better and dont take much work at all.
i bought the 55s when i was shootin the 220 but never got around to loading them in it.
the 22/250 was origianly the "swift" then the name was stolen and it was called the varmiter, then it settled into just being called the 22/250
J. E. Gebby and J. B. Smith the ones creddited with developing the present 22/250 design, this version was named the 22varmiter, and was one of a few difrent 22/250 versions dependiong on who desinged it.
other gunsmiths renamed it the 22/250, and heres the kicker. the wotckins version of the 22/250 was called the swift
you know who brought about the 22/250, it was charles newton when he first knecked down the 250/3000 case to .248 diam he did this in the 20s, some ten od years later other gunsmiths began bumpinmg the shoulder angle to 28deg and dropn 224 bullets in the case.
this Wotkyns guy seems to be tied to both the 22/250 and swift. it also looks like he used the 250/3000 case knecked down to 22 cal as his 220 swift prototype and he has one of the 22/250 versions to his name. hmmmmm
im still reading. the final version of the 220 swift is based of the 6mm lee navy case knecked down. this article says the case is semi rimmed. i never noticed it being semi rimmed??
its interesting that the article im reading says 48-50gr bullets run the best through the swift, ie actualy heard this before but didnt take it to not, but the swift i had did shoot 50gr bullets very well.
all the swift guys now shoot 55gre bulletsin the 3700-3800 ball park
