22-250 vs.220 swift

[fishnjavelina]

Thinking of getting a new rifle for shooting coyotes, does and other critters. Have it narrowed down to a 22-250 or a .220 swift. Any suggestions on other calibers or pros and cons to these two. Thanks for the help.

I dunno much about 'em Tony.. I have heard good things about them both.. Lots of chatter about the new WSM loads for varmints as well! Hmm.. Maybe someone else will have a better idea!

i have a 220 and love it.  if you load your own ammo then thats what i would use.  if you plan to shoot factory rounds then i would go with the 22-250.

i have made a number of 300-500yrd shots with my 220 52gr hpbt handloads. 200 yrd 1/2in groups with a ruger m77

I plan on using a good factory load so kind of leaning towards the 22-250. I have always wanted a swift but ammo is near impossible to find. The new Browning Xbolt is pretty awesome so hopefully I'll be posting pics soon.
