Yup, those 40 grain bullets sure are addicting in the .22-250 or .220 Swift. The Swift has a bit more powder capacity, and with my 28" barrel, I can use a slower powder than standard for the given bullet weight. That translates to those little 40 grain bullets topping 4,100 fps out of my rifle. Little critters just disappear into a red mist out to 250-300 yards. Problem is, they really start to get blown around and drop a lot after that. The 60 grain bullets are almost as spectacular at the shorter ranges, but do oh so much better at longer ranges. That, and copper fouling seems to be reduced with the lower velocity, which is a really big deal. Might be worth playing with to see how your rifle likes them.
