Really? Cheapest 22-250 is $13.82 Shipping is $12.72 Plus they charge a $2.95 handling charge per order. Increase the order to 5 boxes and shipping is $14.19. It just as cheap for most of us to get our ammo at Wal Mart if they have what we are looking for IMO.

true BUT its much more common taking NOTHING away from the swift but the rounds are cheaper can drill smaller holes you can find FAR more rifles for it. and as far as handloading you probably dont even handload so in MY case it makes far more sence to get a .204 im going to close in saing 220 swift is an AMAZING round and i think its one of if not the best varmit round ever made but.
A. its to pricey to buy the ammo
2. the ammo is rare
and D. it almost immpossible to find rifles (that are any good) chambered in it!!!

Personally, I am hoping maybe you just don't shoulder a firearm for a while. Not being able to spell is a red flag. starting the post intentionally wanting to antagonize/anger people, well that does not seem like something that bodes well for peaceful weapon use. What else, oh, unrealistic expectations. I know, second amendment, never would I deny someone a right or even suggest it... but seriously, how about some restraint for the safety of self and others?

What is with all the flaming 308 and 223 haters tonight? Both of these are very effective bad guy killers, and there are swarms of dead bad guys that would vouch for that if they could speak. Do they burn up the lower atmosphere with 4,500+fps speeds.......No, but they shoot flat and accurate, and guess what they KILL @$#* very very dead, so the next person that wants to talk about how useless they are should really examine their real world track record. I served in our armed forces so I think I might know better then who ever wrote whatever online nonsence you are getting this from.

?????? Not great for hunting????? Well someone should have told my 308 YEARS ago that it was not great for hunting. Sure fooled all those deer and hogs. Oh and someone let Chuck Hawks know that he needs to take both of them off his top 12 hunting calibers of all time list, Jake says they don't belong there. ROTFLMAO

I am surprised with all these posts that you haven't learned that reloading will #1-save you money; #2- give you better ammo (see # 1), and expand your overall 2nd Amendment experince-you can't do this a lot anywhere else in the world! As to facts-I have 0 experince w/ 204. Do have experience w/ .221/.222/223/22-250/220. My bragging shot is on a crow sitting in a clearcut tree top @ a ranged 485 yds hit w/ a .220 Swift loaded w/ Sieera 52gr. BTHP loaded w/ IMR 4064 (Speer #8 Manual) that expoded into 5-6 pieces. 204 reloads too!

Yes Jake we never figured out how to kill those pesky elk before the super duper ultra mags of doom came out. We just thought we were killing them with our puney 308s and 30-30s. They were really laughing themselves to death at our petty attempts to penatrate their bulletproof hide......ROTFLMAO. Have you ever actualy been hunting? The puney 30-30 has taken more bull elk then any magnum, and even better the tiny 119 year old 6.5x55 SE is STILL the elk rifle of choice throughout most of Europe. If you don't think the 308 can still kill elk/moose/bear like it did 40 years ago then you have been reading too many gun magazines kid.

Jake there are plenty of people that have been hunting MUCH longer then both of us put together that swear by their 30-30. It kills deer and elk very quickly in the hands of an experenced hunter, me personaly I would take somthing more powerful, but who am I, and who are you to tell them that their choice in caliber is ignorant? You just cannot argue with a hundred + years of results. BTW some of the largest elk I have ever seen were taken with a 30-30, and a 308 is much more powerful then that.
