223 REM to 220 SWIFT?
I have an SSi-One Mossberg in 223 that I have never shot, it is the sporter barrel, not the varmint.
I have 223 rifles out the ying yang and I was thinking about having this single shot rechambered to 22-250 or 220 Swift.
It is a 1 in 9 twist barrel. It would get me into that caliber for much less money than a brand new rifle.
Can I get the performance out of a 220 Swift or 22-250 with that twist barrel without compromising safety? I know that most of them are 1 in 12 or 1 in 14 twist.
My gunsmith will rechamber it for me for $40.00, I was thinking 220 Swift because it's rimmed and they eject easier from single shots.
If I rechamber, what weight bullets will get the best performance?
