Hi Folks, for some reason I remember reading that the 220 Swift does not fire a .224" bullet, but rather a .219" bullet?
Is it something similar to the 22 Hornet saga, where some very rifles had .223" barrels?
Does anyone know more?
(I can be completely wrong in this.)
Based on the 6mm Lee Navy case necked down to .224 the 220 Swift was released by Winchester in 1935 for the Model 54 bolt action rifle.
