220 Swift

What make of brass do you guys/gals use for .220 Swift?   Favorite dies?

Also, what slugs do you like using for coyote and/or small varmint?  I'll be mostly groundhog blasting, but would like to make up some coyote loads that are pelt safe.

Any favorite loads you'd like to share for point blank to 400+ yards?  I'll be using an H&R 24" Ultra .223 that I'm rechambering after I use up my .223 ammo.   It has a 1:12" twist.

Thank you.
