The 220 Swift uses bullets in the 48-60 grain range.
The 22 Hornet uses bullets in the 30-40 grain range.
Neither cartridge could possibly use a bullet weighing anywhere near 185 grains.
The typical sniper rifle of the era was a bolt action in 30-06 or 7.62 Nato, or an M-14 set up for sniping.
The 30-06 and 7.62 Nato sniper ammo would most likely have used bullets of 168 or 172 grains.
