I love my .223 (an old M700 with the heaviest bull barrel I've ever seen on a factory rifle) and shoot it way more than the Swift. It's a much more useful, versatile, forgiving round. The Swift is very specialized. Not for everyone, but once you've gotten to be friends, it will do things for you that no other cartridge will.
