I thought I'd stir up a little grumbling here.

What is the fastest varmint round out there?

And what is the most accurate?

Or are they one and the same?

Just to get the fur flying on a slow and quiet Friday at work...

Well Robert, I am sure some will take exception with me, but I have two 220 swifts. One is a custom job on a mauser action, Douglas semi bull barrrel with an old K-10 Weaver when Weaver was tops. I have had that gun 30 years. I never loaded it too hot. That is the reason it still shoots under an inch at a 100yds. My other Swift is a remington 700 classic. That little spit fire will shoot a 52gr. hollow point a mesured 4300ft/sec. It has also shot groups as small as .13 in./100yds That is too hot a load to shoot on a regular basis.
The gun I shoot ground hogs with now is a 6mm in a ruger #1. It shoot 1/4 inch groups with 65gr V-maxs.

With so many new short and supper short mags along with .17 cal, I don't know what caliber has the speed record. But I DO KNOW THAT 220 IS KING

In the real world I think a Swift is still king, I have a 22-250 that does 4200 with 40 gr bullets, a 22-243 will do 5000 I hear, but you couldn't prove it by me. Larry
