matt_hooks 188 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Possibly you're confusing the .220 swift (a 4000fps, 1800ft.lb beast of a round) with the .22 Hornet (pushing out a not to be sneezed at, though not deer legal, 800ft.lb) All of the .22 calibre centre fire cartridges fire the same .224" diameter bullet, albeit at a wide variety of weights, speeds and energies. No i just believe I got it wrong ...... I honestly thought the 222 was the smallest round for deer.... What are the bullet costs for the .220 Swift against a .222 Well, the .222 IS the smallest round, in terms of overall size and muzzle energy. The Swift case is considerably bigger. The confusion is with the naming conventions. .222, .223, .220 Swift etc. all firing the same diameter pill. Even things like .223WSSM use the same size bullet. Quote Link to post
